Staring out a motel window Watching as the moon glows Can you feel the cold? And I can barely sleep anymore Counting roaches on the floor Is this really my home? Caught my reflection in a window Where did my youth go? My skin weathered by the cold And the burden of stories that won't get told Can you hear the thunder roll? Does it sound of a heart of gold? (And now you can you hear me) (And now you can you hear me) Can you hear the thunder roll? (And now you can you hear me) (And now you can you hear me) Does it sound of a heart of gold? Driving on i-5 south Just thinking about How it could've turned out And I ain't never been this low Now all I got left Are the songs that I wrote Caught my reflection in the window Where did my youth go? My skin weathered by the smoke 'Cause the only peace I know Is the end of a Newport Can you hear the thunder roll? Does it sound of a heart of gold? (And now you can you hear me) (And now you can you hear me) Can you hear the thunder roll? (And now you can you hear me) (And now you can you hear me) Does it sound of a heart of gold? Does it sound of a heart of gold? Does it sound of a heart of gold? I'm still bitter I'm still cold Still using mud to fill the cracks in my soul Without know there's no hope Can you hear the thunder roll? The thunder roll? Drop it
