This town is a memory, old and vague
No one ever leaves and people don't change
They'll all waste away, dreaming of glory days
Well I'm not gonna wait for a chance, I'm gonna take it
I won't have a future unless I make it
They say we're all gonna die,
It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie
Don't make excuses, just start the engine up and go
Fill her up on the way to Thunder Road
We all fall through the wayside, we all get old and grey
We all fall through the landslide just to meet our ghost someday
Well I'm not gonna wait for a chance, I'm gonna take it
I won't have a future unless I make it
They say we're all gonna die,
It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie
Don't make excuses, just start the engine up and go
Fill her up on the way to Thunder Road

It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie

Fill her up on the way to Thunder...
(Fill her up) on the way to Thunder...
(Fill her up) on the way to Thunder Road
