Written in a small house in Long Branch, New Jersey in early 1974, the song was Bruce Springsteen's last-ditch effort to make it big. The prior year, Springsteen had released two albums to critical acclaim but with little commercial success. The lyrics to the song are appropriately epic for his last-ditch, all-or-nothing shot at the stars, yet they remain rooted in the universal desperation of adolescence:
We gotta get out while we're young,
'cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Written in the first person, the song is a love letter to a girl named Wendy
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions...;
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
in an everlasting kiss!
