Runnin' Down A Dream

by Tom Petty

It was a beautiful day
The sun beat down
I had the radio on
I was drivin'

Trees flew 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
I 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
As the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down
To make some time

There's something good
Waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up
Whatever's mine

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
