kiss

The Highway's Jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power
drive,everybody's
out on the run tonight and there's no place left to hide together wendy
we'll live
with the sadness I love you with all the madness in my soul someday girl I
don't
know when we'll get to that place we really wanna go and we'll walk in the
sun,till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run,Ah honey tramps like
us,baby we were born to run,come on baby tramps like us,baby we were born
to run
