[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Thunder Road - Robert Mitchum

[00:00:02] Written by：Don Raye/Robert Mitchum

[00:00:04] Now let me tell the story I can tell it all

[00:00:07] About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol

[00:00:11] His daddy made the whiskey son he drove the load

[00:00:14] When his engine roared

[00:00:16] They called the highway thunder road

[00:00:18] Sometimes into Ashville sometimes Memphis town

[00:00:22] The revenuers chased him but they couldn't run him down

[00:00:25] Each time they thought they had him

[00:00:27] His engine would explode

[00:00:29] He'd go by like they were standing still on thunder road

[00:00:32] And there was thunder thunder over thunder road

[00:00:36] Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load

[00:00:40] There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst

[00:00:44] The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first

[00:00:47] On the first of April nineteen fifty four

[00:00:51] A federal man sent word he'd better make his run no more

[00:00:55] He said two hundred agents were covering the state

[00:00:58] Whichever road he tried to take they'd get him sure as fate

[00:01:02] Son his daddy told him make this run your last

[00:01:06] Your tank is filled with hundred proof

[00:01:08] You're all tuned up and gassed

[00:01:10] Now don't take any chances if you can't get through

[00:01:13] I'd rather have you back again than all that mountain dew

[00:01:17] And there was thunder thunder over thunder road

[00:01:21] Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load

[00:01:24] There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst

[00:01:28] The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first

[00:01:32] Roaring out of Harlan revving up his mill

[00:01:36] He shot the gap at Cumberland

[00:01:37] And screamed by Maynardville

[00:01:39] With g men on his taillights roadblocks up ahead

[00:01:43] The mountain boy took roads that even angels feared to tread

[00:01:47] Blazing right through Knoxville out on Kingston pike

[00:01:51] Then right outside of beard on there they made the fatal strike

[00:01:54] He left the road at ninety that's all there is to say

[00:01:58] The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day

[00:02:01] And there was thunder thunder over thunder road

[00:02:05] Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load

[00:02:08] There was moonshine moonshine to quench the devil's thirst

[00:02:13] The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first

[00:02:17] The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first

[00:02:21] Thunder thunder thunder road
