Bruce performed the song at halftime of the Super Bowl in 2009. In 2009 It was ranked number 3 on the annual Top 1043 songs of All Time by (Q 104.3) Radio Station. Outside the US, it didn’t achieve much success reaching number 38 in Australia, number 16 in the UK and number 53 in Canada. “Born to Run” was a success in the US reaching number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. The song was Bruce Springsteen’s final attempt to become successful. This song is a love letter to a girl named Wendy, for whom Springsteen seems to possess the passion to love, just not the patience.
The lyric “Highway 9” refers to Route 9 in New Jersey, which went through Springsteen’s hometown of Freehold. I liked the phrase because it suggested a cinematic drama that I thought would work with the music that I’d been hearing in my head.”
Springsteen called it “the song of my youth.” In 1974, Bruce was in his home in New Jersey playing with his guitar when he wrote “Born to Run” he said:”One day I was playing my guitar on the edge of the bed, working on some song ideas, and the words ‘born to run’ came to me.” At first I thought it was the name of a movie or something I’d seen on a car spinning around the circuit. The youthful desire to run away, to cruise and to seek something better.
