- Ballad of Thunder Road
Ballad of Thunder Road
(Robert Mitchum & Don Raye (Capitol Records))
Let me tell the story, I can tell it all;
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol.
His daddy made the whiskey, the son he drove the load;
And when his engine roared they called the highway "Thunder Road".

Forever and ever, my heart will be true
Sweetheart, for ever, I'll wait for you
We both made a promise that we'd never part
Let's seal it with a kiss forever, my sweetheart
Let bygones be bygones forever
We'll fall in love once again
So let's tell the world of our new love divine
- From A Logical Point Of View
If you want to be happy living a king’s life
never make a pretty woman your wife
If you want to be happy living a king’s life
never make a pretty woman your wife
Now all you have to do is just what I say
and then you may be jolly, merry and gay
Therefore, from a logical point of view
- The Ballad Of Thunder Road
Let me tell the story, I can tell it all
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey, son he drove the load
When his engine roared they called the highway "Thunder Road"
Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town
The Revenuers chased him but they couldn't run him down
Each time they thought they had him his engine would explode
He'd go by like they were standing still on "Thunder Road"
- Tic, Tic, Tic
Just a dream, just a dream (just a dream)
All our plans and all our schemes (all our schemes)
How could I think you'd be mine (you'd be mine)
Those lies I'd tell myself each time
I know that we could never last (never last)
You just can't seem to in the past (in the past)
Just a dream I dream in vain (dream in vain)
With you I'd only live in pain
