Title: All the road running
----------------------
A million miles our vagabond wheels
Clocked up beneath the clouds
They`re counting down to show time
When we do it for real with the crowds
Air miles are owing but they don`t come for free
And they don`t give you any for pain
But if it`s all for nothing
All the road running has been in vain

The rim shots come down like cannon fire
And thunder off the wall
There`s a man in every corner
And each one is giving his all
But this is my piper, this is my drum
So you`ll never hear me complain
And if it`s all for nothing
All the road running has been in vain

All the road running
All the road running

Well if you`re inclined to go up on the wall
It can only be fast and high
And those who don`t like the danger soon
Find something different to try

And when there is only a ring in your ears
And an echo down memory lane
Then if it`s all for nothing
All the road running has been in vain

All the road running
All the road running

The show`s packing up, i sit and I watch
The carnival eaving town
There`s no pretending that I`m not a fool
For riding around and around

Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
You showed me one time on the plane
But if it`s all for nothing
All the road running,it`s been in vain

I've a million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
And i`m still your man for the roaming
For as long as there's roaming allowed
There`ll be a rider and there`ll be a wall
As long as the dream remains
And if it`s all for nothing
All the road running it`s been in vain

All the road running
All the road running
