born to run
Well I never did crawl and I never did toe the line No man is a master to me, I ain't that kind I just put on my travelin' shoes If you want to 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, sometime I made mistakes But you don't get nothin' unless you take the breaks Livin' as dangerous as dynamite Sure it 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
