Born To Run

E' la canzone del Boss che preferisco, un brano mito
nella storia del rock. Questa, insieme al disco a cui
da' il nome, è stata la colonna sonora dei miei
vent' anni...
Alcuni anni fa una giuria di esperti della BBC l' ha
eletta miglior canzone rock di tutti i tempi.

La storia narra che una stazione radio di New York
mandò in onda la canzone una sera intorno alle 18, alla
fine di quel lontano '74...bene, da allora, ogni sera,
immancabilmente alla stassa ora, questa radio trasmette
Born To Run



In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway
American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide
machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
And steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back

Will you walk with me out on the wire
'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider

But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if your love is wild
Girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream
down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

I wanna die with you out on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highways jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get
to that place
Where we really want to go
And we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
