[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin down a dream
It never would come to me
Workin on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin down a dream

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin down a dream
It never would come to me
Workin on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin down a dream

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
I'm runnin down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin down a dream
Yeah, 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
