Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
This is a story about a little boy His name is Donnie, somewhere out of Illinois He has high hopes growing up and shining Out of the burbs, social ladder climbing He'll clean up nicely, rich and smart and witty Maybe a lawyer living in the city Maybe New York, maybe even better He has the hopes, a total go getter But there was just a little problem Oh yeah Born to run No shoes on his feet now The floor is lava And he can't reach the freeway Born to run Held back by his background They pull him back down Till he hits the dirt ground Donnie hit the books, he gave it all he's got Pulling all nighters to get the ivy spot What he didn't know is that it's not enough Gotta be born into that social club So he had to go to that party school That stained his resume like a cesspool 10 years later he sells cars on a lot You thought he'd make it? Ha, it's not a Disney plot And he'll stay mediocre for the rest of his life Oh no Born to run No shoes on his feet now The floor is lava And he can't reach the freeway Born to run Held back by his background They pull him back down Till he hits the dirt ground Born to run No shoes on his feet now The floor is lava And he can't reach the freeway Born to run Held back by his background They pull him back down Till he hits the dirt ground
