There′s an old man sitting on a front porch now
Talking 'bout how it used to be
When I was young I was a hell of a man
My father died when I was ten
I hit the road to find a job
Had to feed my family
Times were hard, my hands still scarred
From the life I′ve had to lead

I was born to run

Drove a tractor and trailer all my life

Six kids and a hell of a wife
Made lots of money, it all slipped away
A large family, that's the price you pay
I always dreamed, never gave up
Son, even when times got tough
That's when I′d push it a little bit more
You should′ve heard that engine roar
I was born to run, I can't slow down
No regrets, I′ve been blessed
Born to run, in time you'll see

What the good Lord′s done for me
Born to run, I can't slow down
No regrets, I did my best
Born to run, in time you′ll see
What the good Lord's done, done for me

The old man, he passed away
And all he said never crossed my mind
Until I saw the brass he paid
Was a lot like mine
I'm pulling loads miles away
I′ve gotta hit the city right on time
And when I′m old I'll always say
Little son of mine

I was born to run
I was born to run, I can′t slow down
No regrets, I've been blessed
Born to run, in time you′ll see
What the good Lord's done for me
Born to run, I can′t slow down
No regrets, I did my best
Born to run, in time you'll see
What the good Lord's done, done for me

Son, I was born to run
Oh, I was born to run
