Down the Road Songtext / Lyric

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
