Runnin’ Down a Dream Songtext
von Tom Petty

It was a beautiful day, sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was driving
Trees went by, me and Del were singing
Little runaway, I was flying

Yeah, running down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery, going 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, the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine


Yeah, runnin' down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery, going 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 waiting down this road
I'm picking up whatever is mine

I′m runnin′ down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery, going wherever it leads
I'm runnin′ down a dream

Yeah, I'm running down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery, I′m going wherever it leads
I'm running down a dream
