Mama stitched my jeans kept me stitched to the ground
But the road had a way of callin' me down
Twelve years old already miles behind
Chasin' white lines like they held my time
Stepdad's whiskey burned hotter than hell
Chrome and leather stories I'd never tell
Neon sins where the wild ones roam
Baptized in thunder raised on the road
I was born to ride I was built for speed
Grew up too fast on a steel machine
No roots no ties just dust in the wind
A runaway soul with a fire within
Watched outlaws throw fists under streetlight beams
Saw love and lust break at the seams
Ain't no preacher ever called my name
Salvation don't ride on two wheels and chains
Watched outlaws throw fists under streetlight beams
Saw love and lust break at the seams
Ain't no preacher ever called my name
Salvation don't ride on two wheels and chains
Mama did her best but the road raised me
Broke me down and set me free
Every scar I bear every mile I roll
This world don't own me-I own the road
I was born to ride I was built for speed
Grew up too fast on a steel machine
No roots no ties just dust in the wind
A runaway soul with a fire within
No stop signs no yellow lines
Just a blacktop dream and borrowed time
I don't slow down I don't look back
The past won't catch me-I'm too damn fast...
