when I was a baby, my mum met my dad
said slow down son your crawling too fast
i had skinned up knees and bumps on my head
well i couldnt talk then but if i could id've said
I was built for speed, i was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starters gun
keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't built for comfort i was built for speed
Verse 2
well that car lot man said "i got a deal for you
its got air con, cushy seats, and rides real smooth"
well i told him i dont care if the saddle looks good
cos its all about them horses underneath the hood
I was built for speed, i was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starters gun
keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't built for comfort i was built for speed
Instrumental-Verse Chords
Well a hundred years from now when my body gives out
I wont have no nursemaid, wheeling me around
I'll take a chrome harley motor, and ill bolt it to my chair
I'll lay a strip of rubber up those pearly white stairs
I was built for speed, i was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starters gun
keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't built for comfort i was built for speed
I was built for speed, i was born to run
I get chills when they fire off that starters gun
keep your rocking chair and your tranquility
I wasn't built for comfort i was built for speed
