Born To Run   Album `cimarron` 1981 Lyrics

Well I never did crawl and I never did toe that line  

 No man is a 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 breaks  

 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's 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  

 Yea 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
