Tom Petty
Runnin’ Down a Dream (Live at the Fillmore, 1997)
[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had my radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, me and Del were singin'
Little "Runaway," I was flyin'
[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
[Verse 2]
I felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
Yeah, it was always cold, no sunshine
[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherevеr it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
[Verse 3]
I rolled on, thе sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
And there's something good waitin' down this road
And I'm pickin' up whatever's mine
[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
