Born To Run

Lyrics

Well, I never did crawl and I never did toe that line
 No man is master to me, I ain't that kind
 I just put on my traveling shoes
 If you wanna win, you just can't lose the time
 Or stay behind
 Well, I was born to run
 To get ahead of the rest
 And all that I wanted was to be the best
 Just to feel free and be someone
 I was born to be fast, I was born to run
 Well, I take the chances, sometimes I've made mistakes
 But you don't get nothing unless you take the break
 Living as dangerous as dynamite
 Sure makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel alright
 Makes you feel alright
 Well, I was born to run
 To get ahead of the rest
 And all that I wanted was to be the best
 Just to feel free and be someone
 I was born to be fast, I was born to run
 Nobody gonna make me do things their way
 By the time you figure it out, it's yesterday
 Well, it comes to he who waits, I'm told
 But I don't need it when I'm old and gray
 Yeah, I want it today
 Well, I was born to run
 To get ahead of the rest
 And all that I wanted was to be the best
 Just to feel free and be someone
 I was born to be fast, I was born to run
 I was born to run
 To get ahead of the rest
 And all that I wanted was to be the best
 Just to feel free and be someone
 I was born to be fast, I was born to run
