All The Roadrunning Lyrics - 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 

But if it's all for nothing 

All the roadrunning's 

Been in vain 

Photos 

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
