Drama–crime film about running moonshine in the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee in the late 1950s. It was directed by Arthur Ripley and starred Robert Mitchum, who also produced the film, co-wrote the screenplay, and is rumored to have directed much of the film himself. He also co-wrote (with Don Raye) the theme song, "The Ballad of Thunder Road". The film became a cult classic and continued to play at drive-in movie theaters in some Southeastern markets through the 1970s and 1980s.

https://www.bear-family.com/various-thunder-road-original-soundtrack.html 1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 108-page booklet, 35 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 minutes. • Never before released: the original soundtrack from Robert Mitchum's cult moonshiner movie of 1958, featuring the legendary Joe Maphis on guitar. • Includes Mitchum's iconic recording The Ballad Of Thunder Road, alongside other promotional singles recorded by co-star Keely Smith and soundtrack composer Jack Marshall all in stunning, remastered sound. • Features songs specially written for the movie, but never used, by Randy Sparks of The New Christy Minstrels, plus the greatest cover versions of Mitchum's cult title song, from western swing star Tex Williams to surf group The Super Stocks. • A total of 35 tracks covering 1958-1974, plus a lavish 108-page booklet featuring many rare and previously unseen photos, a detailed history of the making of the movie, and discography. In a career that spanned over 50 years and 120 films, 1958s 'Thunder Road,' the tale of an outlaw moonshine runner caught between gangsters and G-Men on the roads of the southern USA, was Robert Mitchum's most personal movie. As well as starring, he wrote the story, produced, and effectively co-directed the film. Mitchum also came up with the music, co-writing two songs, The Ballad Of Thunder Road and Whippoorwill, which he then turned over to composer Jack Marshall (the man who arranged Peggy Lee's Fever, and wrote the theme tune for 'The Munsters') to use as the basis of the soundtrack. This compilation features the first ever release for Marshall's 'Thunder Road' music, for which he recruited legendary country guitarist Joe Maphis – 'The King Of The Strings' – to accompany the movie's famous, frantic car chases. Alongside Marshall's soundtrack, the album gathers together spin-off singles recorded to promote the film in 1958, including Mitchum's iconic rockabilly hit, The Ballad Of Thunder Road, and lesser-heard tracks like Marshall & Maphis's instrumental Thunder Road Chase and Keely Smith's gorgeous Whippoorwill, as arranged by Nelson Riddle. In addition, the album unearths original songs Mitchum hired singer Randy Sparks to write for his movie in 1957, but which were never used, and rounds up some of the greatest cover versions of The Ballad Of Thunder Road, from western swing star Tex Williams and bluegrass idols Jim & Jesse, through to surf group The Super Stocks and Memphis guitar guru Travis Wammack. 'Thunder Road' is presented in a digipac format and features all the usual high standard Bear Family trademarks; a 108-page booklet with abundant photographs, a history of the making of the film, and a discography of the tracks included by Damian Love.

Oh, I'm no hero, and that's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood

Oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
Oh Thunder Road
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
That's alright with me

Had enough of of this crazy life and
all the pressures this life brings.
Need the peace of the place where I was born
bringing me back to the one I love.
Chorus
thunder road thunder road take me back
to thunder road.
Thunder road thunder road take me back
to thunder road.
guitar break
the air is clean the land untouched
it hasn't changed since I was a boy
I want to live my life with the woman
I love within the peace inside of me
Chorus
thunder road thunder road oh how I miss
ole thunder road thunder road thunder road
thunder road thunder road take me back
to thunder road
give me some of that good old country
living like it was in the good old day's
when your neighbor was your friend and
help was there a smile a wave was all they
cared
thunder road thunder road
take me back to thunder road
thunder road thunder road
take me back to thunder road
back to the place I dearly love
take me back to thunder road

The screendoor slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singin' 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, darlin' you know just what I'm
here for
So you're scared and you're thinkin' that maybe we
ain't thatyoung anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're all right
Oh, and that's all right 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 prayin' in vain for a savior to ride
from thesestreets
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 could we do now
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back
yourhair
Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will
take usanywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back heaven's waitin' down on the tracks
Oh, oh come take my hand
We're ridin' out tonight to case the promised land
Oh, oh thunder road
Oh, thunder road
Oh, thunder road
Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh, oh thunder road
Sit tight, take hold
Thunder road
Well I got this guitar and I've learned how to make it
talk
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long
walk
From the front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride ain't free
And I know you're hungry for words that I ain't spoke
But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll 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
ofburned-out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the streets
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roarin' on
But when you get to the front porch, they're gone
On the wind
So Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers

The screen door slams
Marys dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy orbison singing for the lonely
Hey thats me and I want you only
Dont turn me home again
I just cant face myself alone again
Dont run back inside
Darling you know just what Im here for
So youre scared and youre thinking
That maybe we aint that young anymore
Show a little faith, theres magic in the night
You aint a beauty, but hey youre alright
Oh and thats 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 savior to rise from these streets
Well now Im no hero
Thats 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 nights busting 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
Heavens waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh thunder road, oh thunder road oh thunder road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know its late we can make it if we run
Oh thunder road, sit tight take hold
Thunder road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my cars out back
If youre ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The doors open but the ride it aint free
And I know youre lonely
For words that I aint spoken
But tonight well be free
All the promisesll 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 theyre gone
On the wind, so mary climb in
Its a town full of losers
