[Verse 1]
G
Run
D
Daddy said the truck's all yours if you make it run
Em
So you spend your sixteenth summer under that small town sun
C G
Just to make it run
D
When it's all on the line and the ball's on fourth and one
Em
And your mamma's in the stands saying "Hey y'all that's my son"
C Em
And we raised him up to run
D
Like the blood in our veins, yeah
C
We're all the same, we—
[Chorus]
G D Em
Run, living life like it's a highway and we're all stuck in drive
C G
Like a preacher on a Sunday, always going overtime
D Em
Like the muddy water rushing, in the river outside of town
C Em
Yeah, the clock just keeps on running and we can't slow down
D
No matter where we're going
G
No matter where we're from
C
Oh-oh, oh-oh
G
We're all born to run
[Verse 2]
D
Like mascara on your face, 'cause you thought he was the one
Em
But he called you out of the blue and he said "We're done"
C G
He said, "I gotta run"
D
Like your mouth in the bar when you just turned twenty-one
Em
And you didn't stop drinking 'til the whole damn room just spun
C
Oh, I guess that we all
[Chorus]
G D Em
Run, living life like it's a highway and we're all stuck in drive
C G
Like a preacher on a Sunday, always going overtime
D Em
Like the muddy water rushing, in the river outside of town
C Em
Yeah, the clock just keeps on running and we can't slow down
D
No matter where we're going
G
No matter where we're from
C
Oh-oh, oh-oh
G
We're all born to run
[Guitar Solo]
G D Em C
[Bridge]
G
Through red lights and stop signs
D
We're racing ourselves
Em
We're trying to get to heaven
C
While we run like hell, we
[Chorus]
G D Em
Run, living life like it's a highway and we're all stuck in drive
C G
Like a preacher on a Sunday, always going overtime
D Em
Like the muddy water rushing, in the river outside of town
C Em
Yeah, the clock just keeps on running and we can't slow down
D
No matter where we're going
G
No matter where we're from
C
Oh-oh, oh-oh
G
We're all born to run
[Outro]
G D Em C x2
G
We're all born to run
