Lyrics All the Roadrunning - Mark Knopfler feat. Emmylou Harris
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
It'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
It'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
But
if
it′s
all
for
nothing
All
the
roadrunning
It'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
It′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
It′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
