 19769>Lynyrd Skynyrd - Born to run
 
 
 
 There's an old man sittin' on a front porch now
 
 Talkin' '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 are 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
 
 
 
 (chorus)
 
 I was born to run
 
 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 price he payed
 
 Was a lot like mine
 
 I'm full and though it's miles away
 
 Gotta hit the city right on time
 
 And when I'm on I'll always sing little song of mine
 
 I was born to run
 
 
 
 (repeat chorus)
