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 ne 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 rearview 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 Wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss The highway's 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

“Born to Run” foi o primeiro single de Bruce Springsteen lançado mundialmente, embora inicialmente tenha tido pouco sucesso fora dos Estados Unidos.
Nos EUA, a música recebeu ampla divulgação nas rádios de rock progressivo e album-oriented, tornando‑se o primeiro Top 40 de Springsteen na Billboard Hot 100, alcançando a posição 23.
A canção foi aclamada pela crítica e hoje é considerada a assinatura de Springsteen, ocupando o nº 27 na lista da Rolling Stone de 2021 dos “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”, o melhor posicionamento de qualquer faixa do artista.
“Born to Run” está incluída na seleção “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll” do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
O crítico Robert Christgau destacou a influência da “wall of sound” na gravação, descrevendo-a como “a realização de tudo que ‘Be My Baby’ representava e muito mais”.
