C       Am        G

A million miles our vagabond heels

        Am  F            C

Clocked up    beneath the clouds

       G7                Am      F

They're counting down to show time

        C         Am            F

When we do it for real with the crowds

G7

Air miles are owing

          Am             F

But they don't come for free

         C              Am      F

And they don't give you any for pain

C                   G

But if it's all for nothing

Am          F

All the roadrunning's

       C

Been in vain



     C                     G

The rimshots come down like cannon fire

    Am       F        C   

And thunder   off the wall

          G     G7     Am  F

There's a man in every corner

    C                      F

And each one is giving his all

G          G7    Am         F

This is my fife  This is my drum

       C                     F

So you never will hear me complain

C                   G

And if it's all for nothing

Am          F

All the roadrunning's

        C

Been in vain



F           G

All the roadrunning

F           C

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



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
