Lyrics

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
