Born to Run (Springsteen on Broadway)

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 We're sprung from cages out on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel-injected and steppin’ out over the line Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we’re young `Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run [Verse 2] Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend I wanna guard your dreams and visions Yeah, 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 we'll never go back Walk with me out on the wire `Cause I'm just as scared and a lonely rider I gotta find out how it feels I want to know if love is wild, I want to know if love is real [Verse] Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard The girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors And the boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight In an everlasting kiss [Verse 4] The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight, but there's no place left to hide So together, Wendy, we’ll live with the sadness I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul Someday girl, I don't know when, we’re gonna get to that place Where we really want to go And we'll walk in the sun Til' then tramps like us, baby we were born to run [Outro] Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa Whoa-oh-whoa-whoa
