Born To Run
Bruce springsteen Lyrics

In the day we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream
During the day, we work hard just to survive in the American dream that seems to be going out of control.

At night we ride through the mansions of glory In suicide machines
At night, we escape the harsh reality of our lives by driving recklessly in our cars, which we depend on for our freedom.

Sprung from cages on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
We broke free from our mundane lives and now we're living on the edge without any restrictions, speeding along the highway in our fast cars.

Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
Living in this town is draining the life out of us, it's like a downward spiral that never lets up, and it feels like we're in a constant battle for survival.

We gotta get out while we're young 'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run Yes, girl, we were
We need to find a way out of this never-ending loop of hardship and struggle because we're free spirits who were meant to live life on the edge.

Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend I wanna guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims And strap your hands 'cross my engines
I want to be close to you, to protect you and help you achieve your dreams. We'll ride together and conquer the world, holding on tight to each other as we go.

Together we could break this trap We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back
If we work together, we can find a way to escape this life and keep on running, never looking back.

Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? 'Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider But I gotta know how it feels I want to know if love is wild Babe, I want to know if love is real Oh, can you show me
I'm asking you to take a chance with me, to join me on this crazy journey of life. I'm scared and alone, but I want to know what it feels like to truly love someone, and I'm hoping that you'll be the one who can show me.

Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones Scream down the boulevard Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And the boys try to look so hard
As we drive beyond the limits of our small town, we see others like us, living life on the edge, trying to make a name for themselves in this world.

The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight In an everlasting kiss
The amusement park represents the fleeting joy of life, and we're desperate to hold on to that joy. We want to be together forever, even if it means dying together in each other's arms on this very street.

(One, two, three, four) The highway's jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight But there's no place left to hide
We're part of a generation of people trying to escape from the harsh reality of life, but there's nowhere left to go – we're all in this together.

Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when We're gonna get to that place Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun
If we stick together, we can face the difficulties of life with grace and love. And someday, we'll reach a place where we can be truly happy and free, where we can finally walk in the sun without any fear or worry.

But 'til then, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Oh honey, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Come on with me, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run
Until then, we'll keep on running, experiencing everything that life has to offer, with no regrets or looking back – we were born to be free and wild.
