Lynyrd Skynyrd - Born To Run lyrics

(gary rossington, johnny van-zant, ed king, donnie van zant) 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 pa**ed 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)
