She said goodbye to her daddy while her mamma cried I kept the motor runnin' in my car outside She kissed him on the cheek, daddy's little girl Then a woman walked out to take on the world Through red taillights and a cloud of dust We went flyin' through the night, it was all about us Sittin' on the seat right next to me, we drove with a tank full of destiny She was born to run She was born to run She was born to run born to run to me With a new world waitin' down the road up ahead Passion runnin' wild through our hearts and heads With everything we owned packed in the backseat We had each other, that was all we needed They all called me crazy, said she'd never settle down I was just her ticket, her ticket out of town But it looks like that night fate proved 'em wrong 'Cause she's been mine, mine all along She was born to run She was born to run She was born to run born to run to me It's been years now and I never doubted Somewhere, somehow we'd make through She's still here, no two ways about it Her heart's still mine and her love's still true She was born to run Was the Master's plan Born to run Put her heart in my hand Born to run born to run to me
