"Thunder Road" is the opening track from his 1975 breakthrough album "Born to Run", one of the cornerstones of the classic rock pantheon, and The Boss's traditional set-closer for several years. With 'Thunder Road', first line is 'The screen door slams' – that's the opening to a novel, an incredible first line. You've immediately got him, standing at the end of the garden path, and she's come out, and the door shuts behind her. Lyrically, that is the perfect opening to a song.
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again...
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again...
