Our Own Thunder Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's the first day, of a new year The last day, it's so clear We're better off dead At least that's what I said [Verse 2] As I swept up, the broken glass The pavement, the blades of grass From the night before We were just two bodies on the floor [Verse 3] And I did what, I was told Now I just want to write My own thunder road But where did it go? [Verse 4] When I don't believe, in Chevrolet I don't believe, in brighter days I don't beliеve we'd get away Wе'd just say we got away [Verse 5] Because we're caught here, beneath this broken thumb Our eyes glazed, our bodies numb With hearts on fire 'Cause this heart's on fire [Verse 6] And I don't believe in these two lanes, no one believes in broken chains You can throw your roses in the rain, hide in bed with your holy pain Let it fill your eyes But just put down the disguise We were born to run from prying eyes [Chorus] Take it as far as you can go Your own thunder road Yeah, imagine my surprise Take it as far as you can go Your own thunder road [Verse 7] So I swept up, the broken glass I held it up, and I had to ask Where was I supposed to go? Where were we supposed to go? [Verse 8] I don't blame you, for letting go We are the ghosts in the eyes of those boys who fell It's all we know It's all we know It's all we know [Chorus] Take it as far as you can go Our own thunder road Where were we supposed to go? [Verse 9] So I swept up, the broken glass On hands and knees, you didn't even ask Just please don't leave Please don't leave And I'll try to believe
