Emmylou Harris - All The Roadrunning Lyrics
A million miles our vagabond heelsClocked up beneath the cloudsThey're counting down to show timeWhen we do it for real with the crowdsAir miles are owingBut they don't come for freeAnd they don't give you any for painBut if it's all for nothingAll the roadrunning'sBeen in vainThe rimshots come down like cannon fireAnd thunder off the wallThere's a man in every cornerAnd each one is giving his allThis is my fifeThis is my drumSo you never will hear me complainAnd if it's all for nothingAll the roadrunning'sBeen in vainAll the roadrunningAll the roadrunningWell if you're inclinedTo go up on the wallIt can only be fast and highAnd those who don't like the dangerSoon find something different to tryWhen there's only a ringin' in your earsAnd an echo down memory laneBut if it's all for nothingAll the roadrunning'sBeen in vainAll the roadrunning, all the roadrunningAll the roadrunning, all the roadrunningThe show's packing upI sit and watch the convoyLeaving townThere's no pretending I'm not a fool,For riding around and aroundLike the pictures you keep of your old wall of deathYou showed me one time on the planeBut if it's all for nothingAll the roadrunning'sBeen in vainA million miles of vagabond skyClocked up above the cloudsI'm still your man for the roamingFor as long as there's roamin' allowedThere'll be a riderAnd there'll be a wallAs long as the dreamer remainsAnd if it's all for nothingAll the roadrunning'sBeen in vainAll the roadrunning, all the roadrunningAll the roadrunning, all the roadrunningAll the roadrunning, all the roadrunningAll the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
