Well I never did crawl, and I never did toe the line No man is master of me, I ain't that kind I just put on my travelling 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 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, sometime I made mistakes But it don't mean nothin' unless you take the breaks Living as dangerous as dynamite Sure it 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 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 ♪ Nobody gonna make me do the things their way By the time they figure it out, it's yesterday Well it comes to he who waits I'm told But I won't need it when I'm old and grey Yeah I want it today Well I was born to run To get ahead of the rest And all 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 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 be fast, I was born to run
