Got my time to be free
And a pocketful of dreams
Here I am, standing on my own
I'm just one of a kind
A strange kind of mind
You'd better not put my back against the wall
Who, oh
I feel the wheels are turning
Who, oh
In the heat of the night
Who, oh
Now my heart is burning
I feel
(It) Comes the time to hear just my voice
And take my life
From the east to the west
No time to take a rest
As long as I can see the morning light
I walk straight to the fire
Way down to the wire
Leaving this ol' troubled world behind
(Who, oh)
I feel the wheels are turning
(Who, oh)
In the heat of the night
(Who, oh)
I feel my heart is burning
It comes the time to live my life
'Cause I was born to run
Time is comin' on strong
But I was born to run
And I don't care if I fall
I was born to run
Don't try to hold back my way
I've got my song and it's all I can take
Cause' I was born to run
I will go along the road
In every corner of the world
Looking for the joy and pain of a man
I'll leave all my memories
In a pocketful of dreams
Here I am...
'Cause I was born to run
And I've just have my song
But I was born to run
And I don't care if I fall
I was born to run
Like a ship against the tide
I keep on running on
With the good Lord by my side
Oh, yeah...
Baby, I was born to run
I was born to run...
