Born to Run — текст песни (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

(gary rossington, johnny van-zant, ed king, donnie van zant)



Theres an old man sittin on a front porch now

Talkin bout how it used to be

When I was young I was a hell of a man

My father died when I was ten

I hit the road to find a job

Had to feed my family

Times were hard my hands are still scarred

From the life Ive had to lead

I was born to run



Drove a tractor and trailer all my life

Six kids and a hell of a wife

Made lots of money it all slipped away

A large family thats the price you pay

I always dreamed never gave up

Son, even when times got tough

Thats when Id push it a little bit more

You shouldve heard that engine roar



(chorus)

I was born to run

Cant slow down

No regrets, Ive been blessed

Born to run

In time youll see what the good lords done for me

Born to run

I cant slow down

No regrets, I did my best

Born to run

In time youll see

What the good lords done, done for me



The old man, he passed away

And all he said never crossed my mind

Until I saw the price he payed

Was a lot like mine

Im full and though its miles away

Gotta hit the city right on time

And when Im on Ill always sing little song of mine

I was born to run



(repeat chorus)
