Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Engine's hot beneath this rusted hood

Small town sleeping like it knew it should

Baby, grab your jacket, kill the lights

We were never meant to live these quiet nights

[verse]

Every window here just shows the same old street

Every clock is counting off a slow defeat

But you and me, we got a different clock

Running past the fences, past the graveyard shift, the lock

[chorus]

We were born to run down a highway wide

Chasing something bigger on the other side

Hold on tight, let the engine roar

This town won't hold us anymore

Born to run, born to fly

Underneath a wide-open sky

[verse]

They say a dream like this will fade away

But I can feel it burning brighter every day

Put your hand on mine against the wheel

Let the world out there decide if it's real

[chorus]

We were born to run down a highway wide

Chasing something bigger on the other side

Hold on tight, let the engine roar

This town won't hold us anymore

Born to run, born to fly

Underneath a wide-open sky

[bridge]

Glockenspiel is ringing like a promise kept

Saxophone is crying for the miles we've swept

Somewhere past the county line, our real life waits

We're not asking permission at the gates

[chorus]

We were born to run down a highway wide

Chasing something bigger on the other side

Hold on tight, let the engine roar

This town won't hold us anymore

Born to run, born to fly

Underneath a wide-open sky
