Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A million miles our vagabond heels

Clocked up beneath the clouds

They're countin' down to showtime

When we do it for real with the crowds

Air miles are owin' but they don't come for free

And they don't give you any for pain

But if it's all for nothin'

All the road running has been in vain

[Verse 2]

The rim shots come down like cannon fire

And thunder off the wall

There's a man in every corner

And each one is givin' his all

This is my fife and this is my drum

So you never will hear me complain

And if it's all for nothing

All the road running has been in vain

[Verse 3]

All the road running

All the road running

[Verse 4]

Well if you're inclined to go up on the wall

It can only be fast and high

And those who don't like the danger

Soon find something different to try

When there is only a ring in your ears

And an echo down memory lane

But if it's all for nothin'

All the road running has been in vain

[Verse 5]

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running

[Verse 6]

The show's packin' up I sit and watch

The convoy leavin' town

And there's no pretending I'm not a fool

For riding around and around

Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death

You showed me one time on a plane

But if it's all for nothing

All the road running has been in vain

[Verse 7]

Of million miles of vagabond sky

Clocked up above the clouds

I'm still your man for the roamin'

For as long as there's roamin' allowed

There'll be a rider and there'll be a wall

As long as the dreamer remains

And if it's all for nothing

All the road running has been in vain

[Verse 8]

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running

All the road running
