Greatest song ever written in rock.....

2:42 for the most awesome drum fill ever

Glockenspiel is beautiful instrument! Magical sound. Celeste is beautiful too.

This really shows how challenging it is to lay Bruce’s vocals onto his instrumental arrangements. His phrasings are so complex but he makes them sound effortless.

I'd love to hear the whole album played this way, instrumental, as in no vocals. An awesome album!

2:25 I never noticed that sweet lick before

This sounds so modern

In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines Sprung from cages out on highway 9, Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line Oh-oh, 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 yes, girl we were Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and strap your hands 'cross my engines Together we could break this trap We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back Oh-oh, will you walk with me out on the wire `Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider But I gotta know how it feels I want to know if love is wild Babe I want to know if love is real Oh, can you show me Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And the boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight In an everlasting kiss 1-2-3-4! The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide Together Wendy we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Oh-oh, someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run Oh honey, tramps like us baby we were born to run Come on with me, tramps like us baby we were born to run Ru-uh-uh-un Mm-mm-mm-mm Uh-uh-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ru-uh-uh-uh-un Mm-mm-mm-mm Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ru-uh-uh-un

The song was one of many Springsteen tunes covered by Allan Clarke of the Hollies, both with the group and solo -- he had discovered Bruce's music in 1973 or so. Allan put his version out as a single from his 1976 album "We've Got Time". So, I put that single and this in my Hollies playlist, along with a bunch of other Bruce tunes and covers..

Awesome song!

Thanks a lot!

This sounds patriotic

Is this on some sort of reissue of the album? One of my beefs with the song is the muddy production, so it's nice to hear the backing track nice and clear! Thanks for posting!

It doesn't sound like the official arrangement, more as an outtake. There are some differences after the first solo. Strings' arrangements are missing, while there's an electric guitar, or something else instead. Beautiful document! Thanks!

Does anyone hear an organ part in the pre-chorus. It is usually louder live but I can't figure out how to play it.

Is this the final mix that's one the album?
