Abstract
Bruce Springsteen’s album Born to Run (1975) is often referred to as a “narrative.” Despite this common description, however, there is almost no scholarly research on its narrative structure. This paper will provide a close reading of the album’s lyrics to reveal previously unexplored aspects of its narrative structure.
