See the stretching sun at dawning
|
Wipe the stardust from his eyes
|
Feel the morning breezes yawning
|
Telling me it's time to rise
|
Telling me it's time to rise
|
|
I was born to take the highway
|
I was born to chase a dream
|
Any road at all is my way
|
Any place is where I've been
|
Anything is what I've seen
|
|
Gambler's gold is made for squandering
|
Miser's silver is to hoard
|
My gold as the sky goes wandering
|
My silver is the drinking goard
|
My silver is the drinking goard
|
|
I was born to take the highway
|
I was born to chase a dream
|
Any road at all is my way
|
Any place is where I've been
|
Anything is what I've seen
|
|
I've skipped on concrete
|
Danced on cobbles
|
Stepped on pavement in the heat
|
I've seen where children crouched at marbles
|
Made chalk circles in the street
|
Found a penny at my feet
|
Found a penny at my feet
|
|
I was born to take the highway
|
I was born to chase a dream
|
Any road at all is my way
|
Any place is where I've been
|
Anything is what I've seen
|
|
Now I know a road that winds forever
|
Through the land the rainbows run
|
You cross the bridge from now till never
|
Take the first turn past the sun
|
Take the first turn beyond the sun
|
|
I was born to take the highway
|
I was born to chase a dream
|
Any road at all is my way
|
Any place is where I've been
|
Anything is what I've seen
|
