Born to Run Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

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 on highway nine
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin′ out over the line
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 wanna 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 ′til we drop, baby, we'll never go back
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 hemi-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
Ha

One, two, three, four

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, 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 'til 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

Run, mmm
Baby, run
Run, run, run, run
Mmm
Woah-woah
Woah-woah
Run, run, run, run
