Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run Meaning

Born To Run Lyrics

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway american dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin’ out over the line
Baby this...

Ok, first of all, it's not about bikers. Bikers don't have hemis, you retards. Hemi's are the 426 cubic inch engine with a hemispherical combustion chamber, pushing out 425 horse power. The song is about going home, Bruce said it himself in 1988. In a concert of which I have seen the tape, he says it is about two kids that are trying to get back home. They are running towards whatever home is. It is not a love song, nor a running away song, and it has nothing to do with bikers, it's all muscle cars. They are racing.

This song is about a young group of motorcyclists who live in New Jersey. "...high ways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive..." "girls comb there hair in rear veiw mirrors-the boys try to look so hard..." all the boss's songs tell a story thats whats cool about him. in this one the main character (bruce himself?) is in love with a girl named Wendy and how he hopes to run off with her because after all thats what tramps like them were born to do...
