Born To Run
Bruce Springsteen (& the Lyrics

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
We work hard during the day on the American dream

At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
At night we drive through wealthy neighborhoods in cars that could kill us

Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
We were born poor and had to escape our cage-like environment on Highway 9

Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
We have fast cars and we're willing to push them to the limit

H-Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back
This town will wear you down until you're broken

It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
It's dangerous to stick around in this town, it's like a trap

We gotta get out while we're young
We need to leave this town and start a new life while we are still young enough to do so

'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
We were born to leave and explore the world, we are not meant to stay in one place

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I like you, can we be friends?

I want to guard your dreams and visions
I want to protect your dreams and aspirations

Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
Come sit on the leather seats of my car and let's drive away together

And strap your hands 'cross my engines
Hold onto my car for dear life and let's drive away together

Together we could break this trap
Together, we can break out of this trap of a town

We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
We'll keep running until we can't run anymore, we'll never return back to this town

H-Oh, Will you walk with me out on the wire
Will you take a chance and explore life with me?

'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
I'm just a scared and lonely person trying to find my way in the world

But I gotta know how it feels
But I need to explore life to see how it feels

I want to know if love is wild
I want to know if love is passionate and exciting

Babe I want to know if love is real
I want to know if love is a genuine and authentic feeling

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Expensive cars drive down the road past the Palace

Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
Girls are more focused on their appearance than on their future

And the boys try to look so hard
The boys are trying to act tough to overcompensate for their insecurities

The amusement park rises bold and stark
The amusement park is bright and exciting, but also overwhelming

Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
Kids gather at the beach in the fog where they can't be seen

I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
I want to live life to the fullest and explore the world with you

In an everlasting kiss
In a passionate and unforgettable moment

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
People take one last and desperate move to escape the town

Everybody's out on the run tonight
Everybody wants to leave this town tonight

But there's no place left to hide
There is no safe place left in this town

Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
Despite the difficulties, we can get through it together

I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
I will love you with all my heart, no matter what

H-Oh, Someday girl I don't know when
Someday we will leave, but it's unclear when that day will be

We're gonna get to that place
We will reach our destination, wherever that may be

Where we really wanna go
Wherever it is that truly makes us happy

And we'll walk in the sun
At that place we will finally feel free and happy

But till then tramps like us
Until then, we will keep exploring the world

Baby we were born to run
We were born to keep moving and exploring
