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

Run, like the blood in our veins

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

Like mascara on your face, 'cause you thought he was the one

But he called you out of the blue and he said we're done

He said I gotta run

Like your mouth in the bar when you just turned 21

And you didn't stop drinking 'til the whole damn room just spun

Oh, I guess that we all

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

Through red lights and stop signs

We're racing ourselves

We're tryna get to Heaven

While we run like hell

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
