《The Promise》歌词

Bruce Springsteen - The Promise

.

.

.

Johnny works in a factory

and Billy works downtown

Terry works in a rock and roll band lookin' for

that million-dollar sound

And I got a little job down in Darlington

but some nights I don't go

Some nights I go to the drive-in or some nights I stay home

I followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen

And I drove a Challenger down Route 9 through the dead ends

and all the bad scenes

And when the promise was broken,

I cashed in a few of my own dreams

.

Well now I built that Challenger by myself,

but I needed money and so I sold it

I lived a secret I should'a kept to myself,

but I got drunk one night and I told it

All my life I fought this fight,

the fight that no man can ever win

Every day it just gets harder to live this dream

I'm believing in

Thunder Road,oh baby you were so right

Thunder Road,there's somethin' dyin'

down on the highway tonight

.

I won big once and I hit the coast,

oh but somehow I paid the big cost

Inside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits

of all the other ones who lost

When the promise is broken you go on living,

but it steals something from down in your soul

Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference,

somethin' in your heart turns cold

Thunder Road,for the lost lovers and all the fixed games

Thunder Road,for the tires rushing by in the rain

Thunder Road,remember what me and Billy we'd always say

Thunder Road,we were gonna take it all then threw it all away
