    Verse 1
    Johnny 
    works 
    in 
    a factory 

    Billy 
    works 
    down
    town 

    Terry 
    works 
    in 
    a 
    rock 
    and 
    roll 
    band 

    Looking 
    for 
    that 
    million 
    dollar 
    sound 

    Verse 2
    I 
    got 
    a 
    job 
    down 
    in 
    Darlington 

    Some 
    nights 
    I 
    don't 
    go 

    Some 
    nights 
    I 
    go 
    to the 
    drive- 
    in 

    Some 
    nights 
    I 
    stay 
    home 

    Verse 3
    I 
    followed 
    that 
    dream 

    Just 
    like 
    those 
    guys 
    do 
    way 

    up on 
    the 
    screen 

    Drove 
    my 
    Challenger 
    down 
    Route 
    9 

    Through the 
    dead 
    ends 
    and 

    all 
    the 
    bad 
    scenes 

    The 
    promise 
    was 
    broken 

    Cashed 
    in 
    a few 
    of my 
    dreams 

    Verse 4

    Well 
    I 
    built 
    that 
    Challenger 
    by 
    myself 

    But 
    I needed 
    money 
    and so 
    I 
    sold 
    it 

    Lived 
    a 
    secret 
    I 
    should've 

    kept 
    to 
    myself 

    But 
    I 
    got 
    drunk 
    one 
    night 
    and 
    I 
    told 
    it 

    Verse 5
    All 
    my 
    life, 
    I 
    fought 
    that 
    fight 

    The 
    fight 
    that 
    you can't 
    win 

    Every 
    day 
    it 
    just 
    gets 
    harder 
    to 
    live 

    The 
    dream 
    you're 
    believing 
    in 

    Verse 6
    Thunder 
    Road, 
    baby, 

    you 
    were 
    so 
    right 

    Thunder 
    Road, 
    something 
    dying 

    down 
    on the 
    highway 
    to
    night 

    Verse 7
    Well 
    I 
    won 
    big 
    once 

    and 
    I 
    hit the 
    coast 

    Yeah, but 
    I 
    paid 
    the 
    cost 

    Inside 
    I felt 
    like 
    I 
    was 
    carrying 

    the 
    broken 
    spirits 

    Of 
    all 
    the 
    other 
    ones 
    who 
    lost 

    Verse 8
    The 
    promise 
    is 
    broken, 
    you 
    go 
    on 
    living 

    It 
    steals 
    something 
    from 

    down 
    in 
    your 
    soul 

    When 
    the 
    truth 
    is 
    spoken, 

    it 
    don't 
    make 
    no 
    difference 

    Something 
    in your 
    heart 
    goes 
    cold 

    Verse 9
    I followed 
    that 
    dream 
    through the 

    southwestern 
    tracks 

    That dead ends 

    in the two- bit bars 

    The promise 
    was 
    broken, I was 

    far away from 
    home 

    Sleeping in the 
    back seat of a bor

    rowed car 

    Verse 10
    Thunder Road 
    is 
    for the 
    lost 
    lovers 

    and 
    all 
    the 
    fixed 
    games 

    Thunder 
    Road 
    is 
    for the 
    tires 

    rushing 
    by 
    in the 
    rain 

    Thunder 
    Road 
    me 
    and 

    Billy 
    we'd 
    always 
    sing 

    Thunder 
    Road, 
    take 
    it all 
    and 
    throw 
    it 
    all 

    Outro 1
    away

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
