[Verse 1] Well I never did crawl and I never did toe the line No man is master to me, I ain't that kind I just put on my traveling shoes If you want to win, you just can't lose the time Or stay behind [Chorus] 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 2] Well, I take the chances, sometimes I made mistakes But you don't get nothing unless you take the breaks Living is dangеrous as dynamite Sure it makes you feel nеrvous, but it makes you feel alright Makes you feel alright [Chorus] 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] Nobody going to make me do the 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 Yeah, I want it today [Chorus] 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 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
