Run, daddy said the truck's all yours if you make it
Run, so you spend your 16th summer under that small town sun
Just to make it
Run, when it's all on the line and the ball's on 4th and one
And your mama's in the stands saying, "Hey y'all, that's my son"
And we raised him up to

Yeah, we're all the same, we

Run, living life like it's a highway and we're all stuck in drive
Like a preacher on a Sunday, always going overtime
Like the muddy water rushing in the river outside of town

Yeah, the clock just keeps on running and we can't slow down

No matter where we're going
No matter where we're from
Oh-oh-oh-oh
We're all born to run

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
We're all born to run
