„Show a little faith, there's magic in the night;
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right.“
"Thunder Road"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Contexto: Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for.
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore.
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night;
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right.
Oh and that's all right with me.

'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.“

"Born to Run"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Contexto: In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream.
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines.
Sprung from cages on Highway 9,
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
And steppin' out over the line.
Baby this town rips the bones from your back.
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
„And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds.
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god.“
"For You"
Song lyrics, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. (1973)
„Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out.
Packing up our bags maybe heading south.
I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now.
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around.
This is your hometown.“
"My Hometown"
Song lyrics, Born in the U.S.A. (1984)
„When they built you brother, they turned this dust to gold.
When they built you brother, they broke the mold.“

„I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done;
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun.“
"Nebraska"
Song lyrics, Nebraska (1982)
„Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time.
Searchin' through the dust, lookin' for a sign.
If there's a light up ahead well brother I don't know.
But I got this fever burnin' in my soul.
So let's take the good times as they go,
And I'll meet you further on up the road.“
"Further On (Up the Road)"
Song lyrics, The Rising (2002)
„Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm going to drink till I get my fill.
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it,
But I probably will.
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
A little of the glory of,
Well time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but boring stories of glory days.“
"Glory Days"
Song lyrics, Born in the U.S.A. (1984)

Let the brokenhearted love again.
Sherry we can run with our arms open before the tide“
"Sherry Darling"

„We all come up a little short and we go down hard.
These days I spend my time skipping through the dark.
Through the empires of dust, I chant your name.
I am the hunter of invisible game.“
"Hunter of Invisible Game"
Song lyrics, High Hopes (2014)
„Everybody's got a hunger, a hunger they can't resist;
There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this.
But if dreams came true, oh, wouldn't that be nice?
But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight.
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.“

Song lyrics, Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978)
