Emmylou Harris And The Nash Ramblers - Born to Run lyrics

Well I never did crawl and I never did toe that line No man is a 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 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
