born to run8 - Bruce Springsteen/The E Street Band
One day
In the day we sweat it out in the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions
Of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9
Chrome wheeled fuel injected
And steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips
The bones from your back
It's a death trap it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I want to be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop
Baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just
A scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
Girl I want to know if love is real
Will I ever know
1 2 3
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered
Drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair
In rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I want to die with you Wendy
On the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
1 2 3
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
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all
The madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
And we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Tramps like us
Baby we were born to
Tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
