Born to Run

[Verse 1]

There's an old man sitting on a front porch now

Talking about how it used to be

When I was young I was a hell of a man

My father died when I was ten

I hit the road to find a job

Had to feed my family

Times were hard my hands are still scarred

From the life I've had to lead

I was born to run

Drove a tractor and trailer all my life

Six kids and a hell of a wife

Made lots of money it all slipped away

A large family, that's the price you pay

I always dreamed never gave up

Son, even when times got tough

That's when I'd push it a little bit more

You should've heard that engine roar

[Chorus]

I was born to run

Can't slow down

No regrets, I've been blessed

Born to run

In time you'll see what the good Lord's done for me

Born to run

I can't slow down

No regrets, I did my best

Born to run

In time you'll see

What the good Lord's done, done for me

[Verse 2]

The old man, he passed away

And all he said never crossed my mind

Until I saw the price he paid

Was a lot like mine

I'm full and though it's miles away

Gotta hit the city right on time

And when I'm on, I'll always sing little song of mine

I was born to run

[Chorus]

Oh, I was born to run

Can't slow down

No regrets, I've been blessed

Born to run

In time you'll see what the good Lord's done for me

Born to run

I can't slow down

No regrets, I did my best

Born to run

In time you'll see

What the good Lord's done, done for me

[Outro]

Son, I was born to run

Oh, I was born to run
