Lyrics

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, me and Del were singin'
"Little Runaway," I was flyin'
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
I felt so good, like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's somethin' good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever is mine
I'm runnin' down a dream
That never would've come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
Yeah, I'm runnin' down a dream
That never would've come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
