When I was just a little baby
I was looking for a fight
Needle in my belly
A mama gonna tell me
It's time to go
Son, run for your life
Well
I was born a-shakin' shiverin'
Had the devil in my sights
Pulled back the hammer
Pulled back the trigger
It's time to go
Son, run for your life
I had a dream
It came to me in a vision
Now I believe
It's time to complete the mission
Run for your life
Ooh
I know it's all in my mind
Run for your life
Well, I was born to run
I was born to run
You never met a man like me
I'm a sinner
A lover
And a child
I'm never gonna die
But if I ever do
I'll be screamin' in the night
"Run for your life"
I got a real bad reputation
But I can change if I try
If you're a little angel
A little lost baby
I'm a runaway
Run for your life
I had a dream
It came to me in a vision
Now I believe
It's time to complete the mission
Run for your life
Ooh
I know it's all in my mind
Run for your life
Well, I was born to run
I was born to run
