ST-1172
Thunder Road
Called By Ken Perez
FR-1
OPENER
Sides face, grand square
Let me tell the story, I can tell it all
About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey, his son he drove the load
And when his engine roared they called the highway
Thunder Road
Four little ladies promenade inside the big ol' ring
You get back home a swingin', now you promenade, I sing
Moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil's thirst
The law they swore they'd get him but the Devil got him first
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Now head two couples promenade halfway round the ring
Side pair right & left thru and turn that pretty thing
You square thru four hands now, four hands around you go
You dosado that corner, then you do an eight chain four
There was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road
Swing that corner go round and round and promenade now go
Moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil's thirst
The law they swore they'd get him but the Devil got him first
MIDDLE BREAK Mainstream
Sides face, grand square
Sometimes into Asheville, 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
CLOSER Mainstream
Sides face, grand square
Blazing right through Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike
Then right outside of Bearden where they made the fatal strike
He left the road at ninety, that's all there is to say
The Devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day
TAG
The law never got him 'cause the Devil got him first
