Song Lyrics

By Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Mike Campbell

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`

Chorus
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 un-stoppable
it was always cold, no sunshine

(Repeat Chorus)

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
