Born To Run

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected, steppin' all over the line
Maybe this skin rips the bones from our backs
It’s a death trap
It’s a suicide rap
We’re gonna do it while we’re young
'Cause bums like us
Maybe we were born to run
Please, let me in, I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your visions and dreams
Just strap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And hold on to my themes
Together we can break this trap
We’ll run 'til we drop, maybe we’ll never go back
Will you walk with me on the wire?
'Cause I’m just a scared and lonely rider
With all that’s missing glum
Well, bums like us
Maybe we were born to run
This highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody’s on the run tonight, but there’s no place left to hide
Together, we can live with the sadness, I love you with all the madness in my
soul
Someday, girl, I don’t know when
We’re gonna get to that place we really wanna go, and we’ll walk in the sun
But 'til then, bums like us
Maybe we were born to run
Maybe we were born to run
Maybe we were born to run
