Lyrics for Runnin' Down A Dream

It was a beautiful day, sun beat down I had the radio on, I was driving Trees went by, me and Del were singing Little runaway, I was flying Yeah, running down a dream It never would come to me Working on a mystery Going 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 It never would come to me Working on a mystery I'm going 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 something good waiting down this road I'm picking up whatever is mine I'm runnin' down a dream It never would come to me Working on a mystery I'm going wherever it leads I'm runnin' down a dream Yeah, I'm running down a dream It never would come to me Working on a mystery I'm going wherever it leads I'm running down a dream
