(Gary Rossington, Johnny Van-Zant, Ed King, Donnie Van Zant)
There`s an old man sittin` on a front porch now Talkin` `bout how it used to be When I was young I was a hell of a man My father died when I was ten I hit the road to find a job Had to feed my family Times were hard my hands are still scarred From the life I`ve had to lead I was born to run
Drove a tractor and trailer all my life Six kids and a hell of a wife Made lots of money it all slipped away A large family that`s the price you pay I always dreamed never gave up Son, even when times got tough That`s when I`d push it a little bit more You should`ve heard that engine roar
(chorus) I was born to run Can`t slow down No regrets, I`ve been blessed Born to run In time you`ll see what the good Lord`s done for me Born to run I can`t slow down No regrets, I did my best Born to run In time you`ll see What the good Lord`s done, done for me
The old man, he passed away And all he said never crossed my mind Until I saw the price he payed Was a lot like mine I`m full and though it`s miles away Gotta hit the city right on time And when I`m on I`ll always sing little song of mine I was born to run
(repeat chorus)
