[Verse]
               Dm                              
There's an old man sittin' on a front porch now
C                         F     Dm
Talkin' 'bout how it used to be ■ 
       Dm                             
When I was young I was a hell of a man
C                            
My father died when I was ten


[Chorus]
Dm                          
I hit the road to find a job
C              F     
Had to feed my family
Dm                                        
Times were hard my hands are still scarred
C                             
From the life I've had to lead
      Dm         
I was born to run
C Dm C F

[Verse]
                Dm                     
Drove a tractor and trailer all my life
C   Cmaj7           F        
Six kids and a hell of a wife
Dm                                    
Made lots of money it all slipped away
C                                      
A large family that's the price you pay
Dm                            
I always dreamed never gave up
C                   F        
Son even when times got tough
D7                               Dm      
That's when I'd push it a little bit more
C                                   
You should've heard that engine roar


[Chorus]
      Dm         
I was born to run
      Dm       
Can't slow down
F               C           
No regrets I've been blessed
Dm         
Born to run
                   F                         C     
In time you'll see what the good Lord's done for me
Dm         
Born to run
        Dm       
I can't slow down
F                C      
No regrets I did my best
Dm         
Born to run
        Dm        
In time you'll see
F                    C             Dm
What the good Lord's done done for me
G                     Dm  
The old man he passed away
G                             Dm     
And all he said never crossed my mind
G                        Dm   
Until I saw the price he payed
      C        Dm  
Was a lot like mine
    G                          Dm  
I'm full and though it's miles away
G                        Dm     
Gotta hit the city right on time
    G                       D7   Dm     C       Am  
And when I'm on I'll always sing little song of mine
      A7      Dm 
I was born to run
