All The Roadrunning |
A million miles our vagabond heels |
Clocked up beneath the clouds |
They’re counting down to show time |
When we do it for real with the crowds |
Air miles are owing |
But they don’t come for free |
And they don’t give you any for pain |
But if it’s all for nothing |
All the roadrunning’s |
Been in vain |
The rimshots come down like cannon fire |
And thunder off the wall |
There’s a man in every corner |
And each one is giving his all |
This is my fife |
This is my drum |
So you never will hear me complain |
And if it’s all for nothing |
All the roadrunning’s |
Been in vain |
All the roadrunning |
All the roadrunning |
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’s only a ringin' in your ears |
And an echo down memory lane |
But if it’s all for nothing |
All the roadrunning’s |
Been in vain |
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning |
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning |
The show’s packing up I sit and watch the convoy |
Leaving town |
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 the plane |
But if it’s all for nothing |
All the roadrunning’s |
Been in vain |
A million miles of vagabond sky |
Clocked up above the clouds |
I’m still your man for the roaming |
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 roadrunning’s |
Been in vain |
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning |
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning |
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning |
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning |
