(gary rossington, johnny van-zant, ed king, donnie van zant)<br><br>There's an old man sittin' on a front porch now<br>Talkin' 'bout how it used to be<br>When I was young I was a hell of a man<br>My father died when I was ten<br>I hit the road to find a job<br>Had to feed my family<br>Times were hard my hands are still scarred<br>From the life I've had to lead<br>I was born to run<br><br>Drove a tractor and trailer all my life<br>Six kids and a hell of a wife<br>Made lots of money it all slipped away<br>A large family that's the price you pay<br>I always dreamed never gave up<br>Son, even when times got tough<br>That's when I'd push it a little bit more<br>You should've heard that engine roar<br><br>(chorus)<br>I was born to run<br>Can't slow down<br>No regrets, I've been blessed<br>Born to run<br>In time you'll see what the good lord's done for me<br>Born to run<br>I can't slow down<br>No regrets, I did my best<br>Born to run<br>In time you'll see<br>What the good lord's done, done for me<br><br>The old man, he passed away<br>And all he said never crossed my mind<br>Until I saw the price he payed<br>Was a lot like mine<br>I'm full and though it's miles away<br>Gotta hit the city right on time<br>And when I'm on I'll always sing little song of mine<br>I was born to run<br><br>(repeat chorus)
