Lyrics for The Promise (Alt) by Bruce Springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Promise (Alt) | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 159 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 don't
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 can't ever win
And everyday it
just gets harder to live
The dreams I'm believing in
Thunder Road
Oh baby you were so
right
Thunder Road
There's 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 don't say nothin' unless I'm 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 don't 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
I
followed that dream through the southwestern tracks
Through the dead-ends and the two-bit bars
(a 1999 live performance)
I followed that dream through the southwestern tracks
The
dead-ends and the two-bit bars
(an older live recoding)
I followed that dream through
the southwestern flats
