Louder Than the Thunder

Intro

Oh-oh

Yeah

Verse 1

I was seventeen with a busted radio

Running down the highway past the county line

Every door I knocked on slammed shut in my face

But I kept on swinging every single time

Pre-Chorus

They said kid you're dreaming

They said kid go home

But I got this fire and it won't leave me alone

Chorus

Take my hand we're gonna run tonight

Take my hand we're gonna reach the light

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Verse 2

Mama worked the diner till her hands went numb

She told me son don't ever settle for the small

So I packed my guitar and a pocket full of dreams

And I swore I'd never let the curtain fall

Pre-Chorus

The town said I was crazy

The town said I was wrong

But I hear this rhythm and it's louder than the throng

Chorus

Take my hand we're gonna run tonight

Take my hand we're gonna reach the light

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Bridge

Rise up rise up

Feel the thunder in your chest

Rise up rise up

We were born to never rest

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take my hand we're gonna run tonight

Take my hand we're gonna reach the light

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Chorus

Take my hand we're gonna run tonight

Take my hand we're gonna reach the light

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Nothing's gonna hold us

Verse 3

Now the years roll by like headlights on the road

I've played a thousand stages and a thousand more to go

I still call my mama every Sunday afternoon

And I thank her for the courage that she handed to her boy

Pre-Chorus

They said kid you're dreaming

Well the dream came true

So I'm standing here to tell you what a kid like you can do

Chorus

Take my hand we're gonna run tonight

Take my hand we're gonna reach the light

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Bridge

Raise 'em up raise 'em up

Every hand across the crowd

Raise 'em up raise 'em up

Sing it till it shakes the ground

We are the ones who never backed away

We are the ones who had the nerve to stay

Sing it out sing it loud

Sing it out sing it proud

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take my hand we're gonna run tonight

Take my hand we're gonna reach the light

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Chorus

Take my hand we're gonna run tonight

Take my hand we're gonna reach the light

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Nothing's gonna hold us down

Outro

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Take my hand

Take my hand
