(Paul Kennerley)



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
