Emmylou Harris – All The Roadrunning Lyrics  Share

From Emmylou Harris's album: All The Roadrunning

(feat. Mark Knopfler)

A million miles our vagabond heels
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 roadrunning^,s
Been in vain

The rimshots come down like cannon fire
And thunder off the wall
There^,s a man in every corner
And each one is giving his all

This is my fife
This is my drum
So you never will hear me complain

And if it^,s all for nothing
All the roadrunning^,s
Been in vain

All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning

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
When there^,s only a ringin^, in your ears
And an echo down memory lane

[ All The Roadrunning lyrics from

But if it^,s all for nothing
All the roadrunning^,s
Been in vain

All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning

The show^,s packing up
I sit and watch the convoy
Leaving town
There^,s no pretending 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 roadrunning^,s
Been in vain

A million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
I^,m still your man for the roaming
For as long as there^,s roamin^, allowed

There^,ll be a rider
And there^,ll be a wall
As long as the dreamer remains

And if it^,s all for nothing
All the roadrunning^,s
Been in vain

All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
