All The Roadrunning (with Emmylou Harris) Songtext

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
