Lirik lagu "Born to Run" sebagai berikut:

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
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

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire
Girl I'm just a scared and 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

Oh can you show me?

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors
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

One, two, three

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
Together wendy we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Oh, someday girl I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really wanna go
We'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run

Tramps like us baby we were born to run
Tramps like us baby we were born to run

(Oh oh oh oh)
