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
