Runnin’ Down A Dream Lyrics By Tom Petty

    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
    hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
    the last three days the rain was unstoppable
    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

    i rolled on 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’ve 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’ve come to me
    workin’ on a mystery goin’ wherever it leads
    i’m runnin’ down a dream
