Someone’s knockin’ at the door  
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell  
Someone’s knockin’ at the door  
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell  
Do me a favor  
Open the door and let 'em in

Somebody’s knocking; should I let him in?  
Lord, it’s the Devil, will you look at him –  
I’ve heard about him but I never dreamed  
He’d have blue eyes and blue jeans.

You went away and left me long time ago  
And now you’re knocking on my door  
I hear you knocking  
But you can’t come in  
I hear you knocking  
Go back where you’ve been

And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road  
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load  
And there was moonshine, moonshine, to quench the devil’s thirst  
The law they swore they’d get him, but the devil got him first

I fell in fear upon my back  
I said don’t look back, just keep on walking  
(Woo, hoo, woo, hoo)  
When the big black horse that looked this way  
Said, hey lady, will you marry me?  
(Woo, hoo, woo, hoo)

I’m gonna’ catch that horse if I can

The Horsemen are drawing nearer  
On leather steeds they ride  
They’ve come to take your life  
On through the dead of night  
With the Four Horsemen ride  
Or choose your fate and die

Take my life in your hands  
Take my love, be my man  
I’m tired of all the lonely nights  
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight  
Take my life, I wanna live  
I have so much more I want to give  
I need a love that cuts like a knife take My Life

Just to spend them with you

And we’ll have fun, fun, fun now that daddy took the t-bird away
