Lyrics
Well, I never did crawl and I never did toe the line
No man is master to me, I ain't that kind
I just put on my travelin' 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've taken chances, I've made mistakes
But you don't get nothin' unless you take the breaks
Livin' is 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, hey
Nobody's gonna make me do the things their way
By the time you figure it out, it's yesterday
Well, it comes to he who waits, I'm told
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
No man is master to me, I ain't that kind
I just put on my travelin' 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've taken chances, I've made mistakes
But you don't get nothin' unless you take the breaks
Livin' is 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, hey
Nobody's gonna make me do the things their way
By the time you figure it out, it's yesterday
Well, it comes to he who waits, I'm told
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
