[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin'
"Little Runaway," I was flyin'

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

[Verse 2]
It felt so good, like anything was possible
I 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
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
[Post-Chorus]
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo, woo, woo)

[Verse 3]
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's somethin' good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
(Woo, woo, woo)
(Woo, woo, woo)
