Thunder Road

[Verse 1]
Let me tell the story, for I can tell it all
Of the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whisky, his son, he drove the load down
When they heard his engine roar, they call it Thunder Road

[Verse 2]
And you could hear the thunder, thunder, oh, the thunder road now
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load now
And there was moonshine just for the devil's thirst
The law they swore they’d get him, but the devil got him first

[Verse 3]
"Son" his daddy told him, "Make this run your last
The tank is filled with hundred proof, you're all tuned up and gassed
Don't take any chances, son, ’cause if you can't get through now
I'd rather have you back again than all that Mountain Dew"

[Verse 4]
Blazing right through Knoxville town, then out on the Kingston Pike
Outside of Bearden town, they made the fatal strike
He left the road doing ninety miles, that's all there is to say
The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Drive [?] road now
Gotta drive this load now
On Thunder Road now
Driving [?] load now
