Lyrics
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

BRIDGE
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
