Sam Draisey - Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

  • 0:03 - 0:07
    Hi, it's been a while since I've done one of these kitchen'a videos,
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    so I thought I would do a new one.
  • 0:10 - 0:14
    This song is a cover.... to be liked at the moment, and it's by Bruce Springsteen:
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    Well, now, the screen door slams
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    as Mary's dress waves
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    Like a vision she dances across the porch
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    As the radio plays
  • 0:50 - 0:54
    Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    Hey that's me and I want you only
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    Don't send me home again
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    I just can't face myself alone again
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Don't run back inside
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    darling you know what I'm here for
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    You understand and you're thinking
  • 1:17 - 1:21
    That maybe we ain't that young anymore
  • 1:21 - 1:25
    Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
  • 1:25 - 1:29
    You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    Oh and that's alright with me
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    You can hide 'neath your covers
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    And study your pain
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    Make crosses from your lovers
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    Throw roses in the rain
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    Waste your summer praying in vain
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    For a savior to rise from these streets
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    Well now I'm no hero
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    No, that's understood
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    All the redemption I can offer, girl
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    Is beneath this dirty hood
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    With a chance to make it good somehow
  • 2:04 - 2:07
    Hey what else can we do now
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    Except roll down the window
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    And let the wind blow back your hair
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    This night's busting open
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    These two lanes will take us anywhere
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    We got one last chance to make it real
  • 2:26 - 2:31
    To trade in these wings on some wheels
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    Climb in back
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    Oh oh come take my hand
  • 2:42 - 2:46
    Riding out tonight to case the promised land
  • 2:46 - 2:51
    Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    oh Thunder Road
  • 2:53 - 2:57
    Lying out there like a killer in the sun
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
  • 3:01 - 3:07
    Oh Thunder Road, sit back, take hold
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    Thunder Road
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    Well I got this guitar
  • 3:14 - 3:17
    And I learned how to make it talk
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    And my car's out back
  • 3:21 - 3:26
    If you're ready to take that long walk
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    From your front porch to my front seat
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    The car's open but the ride ain't free
  • 3:33 - 3:37
    And I know you worry About words that I ain't spoken
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    But tonight we'll be free
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    All the promises'll be broken
  • 3:41 - 3:43
    There were ghosts in the eyes
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    Of all the boys you sent away
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    They haunt this dusty beach road
  • 3:50 - 3:55
    In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
  • 3:55 - 3:59
    They call your name at night in the street
  • 3:59 - 4:03
    Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
  • 4:03 - 4:07
    And in the lonely cool before dawn
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    You can hear their engines roaring on
  • 4:10 - 4:14
    But when you get to the porch they're gone
  • 4:14 - 4:20
    On the wind, so Mary climb in
  • 4:22 - 4:24
    It's a town full of losers
  • 4:24 - 4:28
    And I'm pulling out of here to win.
  • 4:28 - 4:46
    [guitar]
