Born To Run Lyrics - The Very Best Of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches And Highways - Emmylou Harris

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
