Song Lyrics

Days Of Thunder

You wake up sweating and you don't know why
You dream of motorcycles in a thundering sky
Burnt out engines, a deserted ride
You're driving straight for the cloud
And it's ten miles wide

Don't believe what they're telling you
A man in a blue tie still don't know the truth
I know you're down on your luck
But you do what you can
It's getting harder to pray to a mystery man

Stuck in Memphis with a forty-five
You got a bottle of scotch but you're not looking to die
I know there's somebody out there good at loving you
I don't know why you keep living a lie
Living a lie

The way you're feeling is a sign of the times
Disillusioned, done he left you out here to dry
Like a politician looks you straight in the eye
He told you he loved you but the whole damn thing was a lie

Stuck in Memphis with a forty-five
You got a bottle of scotch but you're not looking to die
I know there's somebody out there good at loving you
I don't know why you keep living a lie
Living a lie

You wake up sweating and you don't know why
New York City and a blackening sky
I heard the sun will explode in a billion years
And maybe God will come back and wipe away all your tears

Come on riders, come on fighters
Come on lovers, come on brothers
Come on riders, come on fighters
Come on lovers, the fire burns in your hand
Come on riders, come on fighters
Come on lovers, the fire burns in your hand
Come on riders, come on fighters
Come on lovers, the fire burns in your hand
