Song Lyrics
Well I never did crawl and I never did toe the line
No man is a master to me, I ain`t that kind
I just put on my travelin` 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 for the time I made mistakes
But you don`t get nothin` unless you take the breaks
Livin` as dangerous as dynamite
Sure it makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel
alright
Makes you feel alright
Nobody 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
Yeah, I want it today
