Line 47: − − ==Thunder Road== − − Thunder Road is Springsteen's best song <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaLsE-HufG8&feature=related</ref>. A 2010 survey showed that 62.2% of blue-collar americans would prefer it as the national anthem. The lyrics are as follows: − − The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves − Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays − Roy Orbison singing for the lonely − Hey that's me and I want you only − Don't turn me home again − I just can't face myself alone again − Don't run back inside, darling you know just what I'm here for − So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore − Show a little faith, there's magic in the night − You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright − Oh and that's alright with me − − You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain − Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain − Waste your summer praying in vain for a saviour to rise from these streets − Well now I'm no hero, that's understood − All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood − With a chance to make it good somehow − Hey what else can we do now − Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair − Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will take us anywhere − We got one last chance to make it real − To trade in these wings on some wheels − Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks − − Oh oh come take my hand − Riding out tonight to case the promised land − Oh oh oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road − Lying out there like a killer in the sun − Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run − Oh oh oh oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road − − Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk − And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk − From your front porch to my front seat − The door's open but the ride it ain't free − And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken − Tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken − There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away − They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets − They scream your name at night in the street − Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet − And in the lonely cool before dawn − You hear their engines roaring on − But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind, so Mary climb in − It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win − − RIP Clarence Clemons.

His most famous song "Born in the USA" was for a time considered a patriotic song but a closer look at the lyrics showed that is was actually a Vietnam protest song.
