Woke up with the sunrise, boots hit the floor Got a map and a wild heart, can't stay here no more Fuel up that old black thunder, engine starts to roar Chasing that horizon line, always wanting more Ride, ride into the Sun Don't know where I'm going but I know I gotta run Ride, ride till the day is done With the wind at my back and my freedom on the run Highways like a river, twisting through my soul Dust and gasoline perfume, that's my kind of gold Leave the city shadows, leave the stories untold On this steel horse I'm riding, I feel wild and bold Ride, ride into the Sun Don't know where I'm going but I know I gotta run Ride, ride till the day is done With the wind at my back and my freedom on the run Every mile's a memory, every curve's a fight Moonlight on the blacktop, stars my only light Tomorrow's just a whisper, tonight I feel alive A thousand open highways calling me to ride Ride, ride into the Sun Don't know where I'm going but I know I gotta run Ride, ride till the day is done With the wind at my back and my freedom on the run Ride on, ride on, till the morning comes Ride on, ride on, I was born to run
