Born To Run

In honor of today's gig, I dedicate this CLASSIC rocker to myself & the fellow Jersey rocker who wrote it- I forget his name. I think his name is Bruce something...

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages on highway 9
Chrome wheeled fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
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 wanna 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 and baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I wanna know if love is wild girl I wanna know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rear view mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss

The highways 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'll live with the sadness

I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place

Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun

But 'till then tramps like us baby we were born to run
