"Born To Run" lyrics

"Born To Run"
(originally by Emmylou Harris)

Well, I never did crawl and I never did toe that line
No man is master to me, I ain't that kind
I just put on my traveling 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 take the chances, sometimes I've made mistakes
But you don't get nothing unless you take the breaks
Living as 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
Oh!

Nobody's gonna make me do things their way
By the time you figure it out, it's yesterday
Well, it comes to he who waits I'm told
But I don't need it when I'm old and gray
Yea, 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

Yeah
Oh-oh, oh, I was born to run
Oh yeah
I was born to run
Born to run
