Bruce Springsteen
Born To Run

The history of rock has passed through "Born To Run". It passed through and enriched itself.

The central theme is the desire to escape. The song begins with the protagonist's heartfelt invitation to Mary to follow him: "the screen door slams - Mary's dress sways - like a vision she dances across the porch - as the radio plays - Roy Orbison singing for
