Runnin' Down A Dream Petty, Tom It 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 I hit cruise control And rubbed my eyes The last three days The rain was un-stoppable It was always cold No sunshine Yeah runnin' down a dream That never would come to me Workin' on a mystery Goin' wherever it leads Runnin' down a dream [Interlude] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh 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 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 Goin' wherever it leads Runnin' down a dream [Interlude] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Outro Solo]
