Born To Run (Live - Acoustic)

In the day, we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night, we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheel, fuel-injected, I'm steppin' out over the line
Baby, this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
I wanna get out while I'm still young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run

Well, Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
Strap your hands across my engines
And together we could break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop, and, baby, we'll never go back
Walk with me out on the wire
Girl, I'm just a scared and lonely rider and I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild, I wanna know if love is real

Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones
Scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
The boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
Well, I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

Well, the highways jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there ain't no place left to hide
And together, we could live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday, baby, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
And we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun
'Til then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, you do it
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
