Lyrics
[verse]
Screen door slamming in the summer heat
Engine roaring down the empty street
Tommy's got his jacket, Sandy's got her hair blown wide
We're gonna ride these highways till we find the other side
[verse]
Factory whistles fading in the rearview glass
Every dead-end job we're leaving in the past
Radio's screaming out a song we know by heart
Tonight's the night we're gonna get a brand new start
[chorus]
We were born to run these streets of chrome and light
Born to chase the neon through the endless night
Baby, hold on tight, don't you let me go
We were born to run, and we ain't ever gonna slow
[verse]
Every town looks smaller in the mirror as we fly
Chasing every star that's burning in the sky
They said we'd never make it past the county line
But we've got gasoline and we've got all the time
[chorus]
We were born to run these streets of chrome and light
Born to chase the neon through the endless night
Baby, hold on tight, don't you let me go
We were born to run, and we ain't ever gonna slow
[bridge]
Saxophone is wailing like a midnight prayer
Wind is tearing through your tangled hair
Nothing's gonna catch us, nothing's gonna slow this train
We're running from the shadows, running from the rain
[chorus]
We were born to run these streets of chrome and light
Born to chase the neon through the endless night
Baby, hold on tight, don't you let me go
We were born to run, and we ain't ever gonna slow
