Songs with stories

1. Thunder Road

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.

One of my favorite songs with stories is "Copperhead Road". Or even what I just heard tonight, "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia". That's very much a story song.

Only the lonely.
Now that's poetry.
