Runnin' Down a Dream [German translation]

[Verse 1]

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on, I was drivin'

Trees went by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway

I was flyin'

[Chorus]

Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible

Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes

The last three days the rain was unstoppable

It was always cold, no sunshine

[Chorus]

Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

[Bridge]

I rolled on, the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down to make some time

There's something good waitin' down this road

I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

[Chorus]

I'm runnin' down a dream that never would've come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

Yeah, I'm runnin' down a dream that never would've come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

I'm runnin' down a dream
