Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I never did crawl and I never did toe the line
No man is a master to me, I ain't that kind
I just put on my travelling shoes
If you want to win, you just can't lose the time
Or stay behind
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Well, I take the chances, sometimes I make mistakes
But it don't mean nothing 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Nobody gonna make me do 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 don't need it when I'm old and grey
Yeah, I want it today
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
I was born to be fast, I was born to run
