Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had my radio on, I was drivin'
The trees went by, me and Del were singin'
Little runaway, I was flyin'
[Verse 2]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream, never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
[Verse 3]
It felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
And it was always cold, no sunshine
[Verse 4]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream, never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
[Verse 5]
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put my pedal down to make some time
And there's somethin' good, waitin' down this road
And I'm pickin' up whatever's mine
[Verse 6]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream, never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
[Verse 7]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream, never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
[Verse 8]
