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
