The Song Was Thunder Road
Music and Lyrics by David Prince

She said I feel like we’re both dying
Just a little more each day
That we stay here in this two-bit, one horse town
Shackled to our failures
Imprisoned by our past
Overcome by expectations that we never will live down
I know that everyone here loves the person that they wish was me
And leaving them behind’s the only way that we’ll be free

We put the radio on full blast
We’ve got the windows down
And she said babe we’ve gotta go fast
If we don’t do it now
We’re never gonna leave this town
I’ve got this small-town claustrophobia
Sometimes I feel like I’ll explode
And as we pulled out on the highway
The song was “Thunder Road”

Whoa we never will defy their expectations
Round here, no one really wants to hear your song
We know everyone in town
And it’s true, I really love them
One day we’ll be back to visit
And they’ll see that they were wrong

We put the radio on full blast
We’ve got the windows down
And she said babe we’ve gotta go fast
If we don’t do it now
We’re never ever ever gonna leave this town
I’ve got this small-town claustrophobia
Sometimes I feel like I’ll explode
And as we pulled out on the highway
The song was “Thunder Road”

And as we pulled out on the highway
The song was “Thunder Road”
