Robert A Johnson I was watching a documentary called Inspired to Ride. It's about the inagural cycling Trans Am race that starts from Astoria, Oregon and finishes in Yorktown, Virginia and the riders are unsupported. This song, Born To Roam, was used towards the end of the documentary and I instantly wanted it. Great tune!

- I think this song has become a personal cycling anthem for me, every time I listen to it I just want to jump on my bike and go for a ride.

about

Written on a train heading to Rome, this song was the inspiration for the rest of the album.

lyrics

Use me up til my bodies no more
I’ll use my legs til my muscles have grown sore
Never have I seen a sight so sweet
Than a lonely solo man who's on a lonely solo street

When I'm alone
I was born to roam
When I'm alone
I was born to roam  

My voice will shake when the sun is coming down
And from my lips I’ll hear an unfamiliar sound
If you hate me then I sure as hell hate you
Cause I’m a man without a border and there’s nothing I won’t do

When I’m alone
I was born to roam
When I’m alone
I was born to roam

And I know that there’s a reason that I never thought of leaving with you
And If I had a second chance I’d steal another dance from you

I’m not an angry man, but with you I’m not who I am
You make it feel like a sin, cause I’ve been known to give a damn

Stay with me til all my hair goes gray
And I’ll make good with all these pretty things I say
When I'll give and I'll get down on one knee
'Cause I’m saving all my loving for someone who’s loving me

When I’m alone
I was born to roam
When I’m alone
I was born to roam
