The Promise Ii — текст песни (Bruce Springsteen)





Johnny works in a factory and billy works downtown

Terry works in a rock n roll band looking for that million-dollar sound

Me I got a little job down in darlington but some nights I dont go

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



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

With a built-up 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 old dreams



You see I built that challenger by myself

But I needed money and so I sold it

And I lived a secret I should have kept to myself

But I got drunk one night and I told it

All my life I fought that fight

The one that I cant ever win

And everyday it just gets harder to live

The dreams Im believing in

Thunder road

Oh baby you were so right

Thunder road

Theres something dying on the highway tonight



Well now my daddy taught me how to walk quiet

And how to make my peace with the past

And I learned real good to tighten up inside

And I dont say nothin unless Im asked



When the promise is broken you go on livin

But it takes something from down in your soul

Like when the truth is spoken

And it dont make no difference

Something in your heart turns cold



You see I followed that dream, me and some guys

Through the dead ends and all the two-bit bars

When the promise was broken

I was drunk and far away from home

Sleeping with a stranger in the back seat of a borrowed car

Thunder road

And when it washes away with the rain

Thunder road

You learn to walk among the remains

Thunder road

I remember when me and terry wed always say

Thunder road

We were gonna take it all

And throw it all

Away
