- Runnin' Down A Dream Lyrics / with translationsIt was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin?
Trees went 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
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days and the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sun shine
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, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There?s something good, waitin? down this road
I?m picking up whatever is mine
I?m runnin? down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin? on a mystery, goin? wherever it leads
Runnin? down a dream
Yeah, I?m runnin? down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin? on a mystery, I'm goin? wherever it leads
I?m runnin? down a dream
I had the radio on, I was drivin?
Trees went 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
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days and the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sun shine
Yeah, runnin? down a dream
That never would come to me
Runnin? down a dream
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There?s something good, waitin? down this road
I?m picking up whatever is mine
I?m runnin? down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin? on a mystery, goin? wherever it leads
Runnin? down a dream
Yeah, I?m runnin? down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin? on a mystery, I'm goin? wherever it leads
I?m runnin? down a dream
