After all these years
I'm still running
I've got the scars to testify
I've fought the battles
I lost the war
I had it all
I gave away so much more
Tasted the glory
Choked on the dirt
Of this dirty world
I broke a promise
It was mine to keep
I tore it down
I made it strong
I was born to burn
Down the road
Where my heart burns
On down the road
Where my heart burns
Down the road
On down the road!
I bought the ticket and I
Hit the city
Small time boy with
Big time dreams
Living easy
Sleeping rough
I took my chances any way they come
Brought upon this
Taught to be tough
Bonded together in blood
Eye to eye
Shoulder to shoulder
Taking on this world
I was born to burn
Down the road
Where my heart burns
On down the road
Where my heart burns
Down the road
On down the road!
There'll be a summer
Someday soon
When this will all come home to you
When the dreams burn
Hotter than fire
Harder than diamonds
Colder than ice
There's no victory
Sweet enough
No pride in defeat
Are you the hero
Or the villain
Of your destiny
I was born
I was born
I was born
To burn down the road
Where my heart burns
On down the road
Where my heart burns
Down the road
Down the road
Down the road
Down the road
On down the road
