Born to Run Lyrics

In the day we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream At night we ride through the mansions Of glory in suicide machines Sprung from cages out on highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected And steppin' out over the line Oh-oh, 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 ... Yes, girl we were Wendy, let me in I wanna be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims And strap your hands 'cross my engines Together we could break this trap We'll run till we drop And, baby, we'll never go back oh-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 Beyond the Palace Semi-powered drones scream down the boulevard 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 wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight In an everlasting kiss 1-2-3-4 ...! 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 can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh-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 But till 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 Ru-uh-uh-un, hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Uh-uh-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ru-uh-uh-uh-in, hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ru-uh-uh-un Songwriters: Bruce Springsteen Born to Run lyrics © Downtown Music Publishing
