See the stretching sun at dawning Wipe the stardust from his eyes Feel the morning breezes yawning Telling me it's time to rise Telling me it's time to rise I was born to take the highway I was born to chase a dream Any road at all is my way Any place is where I've been Anything is what I've seen Gambler's gold is made for squandering Miser's silver is to hoard My gold as the sky goes wandering My silver is the drinking gourd My silver is the drinking gourd I was born to take the highway I was born to chase a dream Any road at all is my way Any place is where I've been Anything is what I've seen I've skipped on concrete, danced on cobbles
Stepped on pavement in the heat I've seen where children crouched at marbles Made chalk circles in the street Found a penny at my feet Found a penny at my feet I was born to take the highway I was born to chase a dream Any road at all is my way Any place is where I've been Anything is what I've seen Now I know a road that winds forever Through the land the rainbows run You cross the bridge from now till never Take the first turn past the sun Take the first turn beyond the sun I was born to take the highway I was born to chase a dream Any road at all is my way Any place is where I've been Anything is what I've seen
