Lyrics
Jen's been working two years at a Stop and Go off a 6 lane interstate
Where people roll in pick up a pack some gas then get on their way
License plates from different states places she wants to go
Like pictures on a TV screen they roll past her window
From her side of the glass it was easy to be safe
She's was tired of being careful and life ain't gonna wait
She fills the tank puts the top down and makes some dust of her own
Now she's the picture driving down the road
Waves good-bye to the welcome sign gonna see what life can give
She says some say as soon as you're born your dying
But baby I was born to live
Jen's been close for 19 years with her friend who lives upstate
Hadn't seen her since she met that guy but they talked every day
There are things that she don't say it's something in her voice
Jen put the phone down, drove all nite to give that girl a choice
From her side of the door she feels her friend ain't safe
She sees the bruises says we're getting out 'cause life ain't gonna wait
She grabs her hand they run out and make some dust of their own
Smiling and crying their arms in the air as they fly down the road
They wave good-bye to that no good guy gonna see what life can give
Sue says ever felt like you were dying
We were born to live
If you're scared
If you want out
Take a chance you've got one dance
And life starts now
Throw the top down make some dust of your own
Paint your own picture driving on life's road
Say good-bye to the doubts inside that hide what life can give
Tomorrow you could be dying
But baby you were born to live
