The Hollies - Born to Run lyrics

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines Sprung from cages out on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back It's a d**h trap, a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young 'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run. Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend, I want to guard your dreams and visions Wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines Together we could break this trap We'll run till we drop, baby, we'll never go back Oh, so 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, girl, I want to know if love is real. Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard The 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 streets tonight in an everlasting kiss. The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive Everyone'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 want to go and we'll walk in the sun But till then tramps like us, baby, we were born to run Tramps like us, baby, we were born to run.
