Lyrics

[00:01.90] all the roadrunning
[00:03.47]
[00:09.62] A million miles our vagabond wheels
[00:14.28] Clocked up beneath the clouds
[00:17.18]
[00:18.78] They're counting down to show time
[00:23.03] When we do it for real with the crowds
[00:26.53]
[00:28.47] Air miles are owing but they don't come for free
[00:32.81] And they don't give you any for pain
[00:35.53]
[00:37.89] But if it's all for nothing
[00:40.61]
[00:41.25] All the road running has been in vain
[00:45.05]
[00:53.96] The rim shots come down like cannon fire
[00:57.89]
[00:58.95] And thunder off the wall
[01:01.86]
[01:02.89] There's a man in every corner
[01:07.23]
[01:07.85] And each one is giving his all
[01:10.99]
[01:12.98] But this is my piper, this is my drum
[01:17.32] So you never will hear me complain
[01:20.12]
[01:22.06] And if it's all for nothing
[01:25.75] All the road running has been in vain
[01:29.64]
[01:30.28] All the road running
[01:32.36] All the road running
[01:36.49]
[01:40.75] Well if you're inclined to go up on the wall
[01:44.52]
[01:45.23] It can only be fast and high
[01:47.84]
[01:50.04] And those who don't like the danger soon
[01:54.29] Find something different to try
[01:57.26]
[01:59.29] And when there is only a ring in your ears
[02:03.60] And an echo down memory lane
[02:06.27]
[02:08.70] Then if it's all for nothing
[02:11.14]
[02:12.23] All the road running has been in vain
[02:15.63]
[02:16.66] All the road running
[02:17.98]
[02:18.62] All the road running
[02:22.45]
[02:25.71] The show's packing up, I sit and I watch
[02:40.54] The carnival leaving town
[02:43.14]
[02:45.20] There's no pretending that I'm not a fool
[02:49.40] For riding around and around
[02:52.40]
[02:54.12] Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
[02:58.81] You showed me one time on the plane
[03:02.01]
[03:03.89] But if it's all for nothing
[03:06.59]
[03:07.15] All the road running, it's been in vain
[03:11.24]
[03:19.74] I've a million miles of vagabond sky
[03:23.40]
[03:24.15] Clocked up above the clouds
[03:26.96]
[03:29.09] And I'm still your man for the roaming
[03:32.24]
[03:32.92] For as long as there's roaming allowed
[03:36.10]
[03:38.25] There'll be a rider and there'll be a wall
[03:42.47] As long as the dream remains
[03:45.21]
[03:47.66] And if it's all for nothing
[03:50.12]
[03:50.84] All the road running it's been in vain
[03:54.87]
[03:55.64] All the road running
[03:56.90]
[03:57.77] All the road running
