Legend

Dark as night, cold and lonely

Rides the horse that's known as only Thunder Road

Icy fingers hold the reins

While hoofs come poundin' so insanely on and on



Eyes that dance like burnin' embers

All the county still remembers who you are

Did she love you like they say?

And did she really run away and leave you here?



Ride the wind

Tonight you'll find her there

No more racin'

With the damp night air



Down the road to Whitman's crossing

Underneath the widow's blossoms soft and green

Covered by the crimson shawl

And hidden by the leaves that fall down to the ground

Midnight comes and midnight goes

In between the moonlight shadows veiled in tears



Ride the wind

Tonight you'll find her there

No more racin'

With the damp night air



Ride the wind

Tonight you'll find her there

No more racin'

With the damp night air



Oh Thunder Road

Goin' down Thunder Road

Take you down Thunder Road

Got a heart with a heavy load

Move it down, move it down

Move it down Thunder Road

Said move it down Thunder Road
