My Own Road

[Verse 1]
When I dreamed a highway
Across a desert night
From the last payphone in Houston
I called her up to say goodbye
Mama said I would be something
If I worked and spent the time
But I chose my own way
Over slaving nine to five

[Chorus]
Guess I was born to run, born to ride
Made to live, doomed to die
God or no God, damned if I do or don't
I was born and raised to follow my own road

[Verse 2]
Feeling restless
I was working day and night
Waiting for someone to take my hand
And hand me a brand new life
Mama said I would be something
If I tried my best to shine
But I'd rather spend my days
Chasing these yellow painted lines

[Chorus]
Born to run, born to ride
Made to live, doomed to die
God or no God, damned if I do or don't
I was born and raised to follow my own road

[Bridge]
It's easy to get angry
It's harder to ask why
The world ain't going your way
You say, "It ain't no fault of mine"
But who can you blame this time?

[Chorus]
Born to run, born to ride
Made to live, doomed to die
God or no God, damned if I do or don't
I was born and raised to follow my own road
Born and raised to follow my own road
