"Runnin' Down A Dream" lyrics
(originally by Tom Petty)
(from "Bad Monkey" soundtrack)
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was driving
The trees went by, me and Del were singing
Little Runaway, I was flying
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running 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
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running 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
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running down a dream
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running down a dream
I had the radio on, I was driving
The trees went by, me and Del were singing
Little Runaway, I was flying
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running 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
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running 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
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running down a dream
Running down a dream
That never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Running down a dream
