Just like those guys did well [F] upon the stream
[Bb]
Drove a Challenger down Route 9
Through the dead [F] ends and all the [Bb] bedsands
When [C] the promise was broken
I cached in a few of my [F] dreams
I [C]
[F] built that Challenger by myself
But I needed [Bb] money and so I sold it
[F]
[Dm] I lived a secret I should have kept to myself
[Gm] But I got drunk one [A] night and I told
[Bb]
With [F]
all my [Dm] life [A] I fought [Am] that fight
The [Gm]
fight that you can never [Bb] win
[F] Every day it just gets harder [C]
to live
That dream you're believing [F] in
Well, thunder [Gm]
[A] roll
[Bb] Oh baby, [C] you were so [F] right
Thunder [Gm] [D] roll
[Bb] There's something dying down on [C] the highway [F] tonight
Well, [Bb]
[C] [F]
[Bb]
[F] now I won big once and I hit the coast
Yeah, but [Bb] somehow I paid the [F] cost
[Dm] Inside I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits
Of [Gm]
all the other [A] ones who were [Bb] lost
When the [Dm] promise is broken
You [Am] go on living
But it [Gm] steals something from down in your soul
[Bb] Like [F] when the truth is spoken
And it don't make [C]
no difference
Something in your heart goes cold
[F]
Well, [Bb] I followed that dream
Through the southwestern flats
The dead [F] ends and the two-bed [Bb] bars
When [C] the promise was broken
I was far away from home
Sleeping in the backseat of a borrowed [F] car
Thunder [Gm] roll
[A]
[Bb] For the lost lovers and [C] all the fixed [F] gains
[Gm] [Am]
[Bb] Thunder roll
For the [F] tires rushing [C]
by in the [F] rain
Thunder [Gm] [A] roll
[Bb] Remember when me and Billy [C] would always [F] say
Thunder [Gm] [Am] roll
[Bb]
We were gonna take it [F] on
And throw it [C] all away
