[Verse 1]
First time I ran was to the end of the block
But I didn't know then that it never would stop
Now I look around and what do I see?
More and more people runnin' faster than me

[Chorus]
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run

[Verse 2]
Well, I fell in love for the very first time
But I couldn't keep up with that girl of mine
Night after night on a mighty fast track
She ran like the wind and she never looked back

[Chorus]
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
Let's run!

[Chorus]
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
[Verse 3]
Now I've been to England and I've been to France
I learned to love oysters and I know how to dance
Someday I'll die and come back again
As some little boy just a-runnin' to win

[Chorus]
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run

[Bridge]
Look in the mirror and what do I see?
The gypsy and fool that I always will be

[Chorus]
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run

[Chorus]
These days
Everybody's on the run
These days
Everybody's on the run
