No man is a master to me, I ain't that kind
I just put on my travelin' shoes
If you wanna win you just can't lose the time
Or stay behind
Well I was born to run
To get ahead of the rest
And all that I wanted was to be the best
Just to feel free and be someone
I was born to be fast I was born to run
Well I take the chances for the time I made mistakes
But you don't get nothin' unless you take the breaks
Livin' as dangerous as dynamite
Sure it makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel
Alright
Makes you feel alright
Nobody gonna make me do things their way
By the time you figure it out it's yesterday
Well it comes to he who waits I'm told
But I don't need it when I'm old and gray
Yeah, I want it today
Well I never did crawl and I never did toe the line No man is a master to me, I ain't that kind I just put on my travelin' shoes If you wanna win you just can't lose the time Or stay behind Well I was born to run To get ahead of the rest And all that I wanted was to be the best Just to feel free and be someone I was born to be fast I was born to run Well I take the chances for the time I made mistakes But you don't get nothin' unless you take the breaks Livin' as dangerous as dynamite Sure it makes you feel nervous but it makes you feel Alright Makes you feel alright Nobody gonna make me do things their way By the time you figure it out it's yesterday Well it comes to he who waits I'm told But I don't need it when I'm old and gray Yeah, I want it today Explain Request ×
