AI Prompt: Tell me a story about a boy and a girl who were born in New Jersey. And decide to leave and explore the world. Now give it to me in the form of a Bruce Springstein song with lyrics. “Born to Break Away”

(A Bruce Springsteen-style song)

Verse 1: Tommy grew up in a town by the shore, Jenny’s house was just down the road, nothing more. Every summer night they’d watch the sun go down, Dreaming of a life far from this small town.

They heard the highway calling, whispering their names, Their hearts were burning like wild, untamed flames. They packed up their bags, left that Jersey street, With nothing but love and a rhythm in their feet.

Chorus: We were born to break away, break these chains, Out of the shadows, we’re running through the rain. From the boardwalk nights to the city’s bright light, We’re chasing the world, and we ain’t looking behind.

Oh, yeah, we were born to break away, Gonna find ourselves in every place we stray. No more waiting for dreams to come true, The road is long, but we’ll see it through.

Verse 2: They hitched a ride down to Carolina’s hills, Where the stars above gave them both a thrill. The city lights of New Orleans beckoned loud, Dancing through the streets, lost in the crowd.

Jenny’s laugh was like a song in the wind, Tommy’s hands were strong, lifting her up again. They didn’t need riches or a fancy bed, Just the open road and the words unsaid.

Chorus: We were born to break away, break these chains, Out of the shadows, we’re running through the rain. From the boardwalk nights to the city’s bright light, We’re chasing the world, and we ain’t looking behind.

Oh, yeah, we were born to break away, Gonna find ourselves in every place we stray. No more waiting for dreams to come true, The road is long, but we’ll see it through.

Bridge: Every mile we run, we’re carving out our fate, We left behind the town, but love never fades. Across the deserts, mountains, through storm and sun, The only thing we need is each other to run.

Chorus (Refrain): We were born to break away, feel that wind, With every mile, the world’s ours to win. From the Jersey shore to the city sky, We’ll keep moving, never wondering why.

Yeah, we were born to break away, Love’s the only thing that’ll never sway. Together we’ll stand, never alone, The road is our home, the road is our home.

Outro: The road is our home… The road is our home… (Born to break away, yeah, we’re born to break away…)
