Mark Knopfler – All The Roadrunning

Intro: 	    						

Verse 1:
                                    
a million miles our vegabond heels 
                         
clocked up beneath the clouds
                                        
they're counting down to showtime 
                                   
when we'll do it for real with the crowds
                                        
Air miles are owning 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, has been in vain

Verse 2:
                                
the rimshots come down like cannon fire
                     
and thunders off the wall
                    
there's a man in every corner 
                       
and each one's giving his all
                         
this is my piper, this is my drum 
                                       
so you'll never will hear me complain
                   
and if it's all for nothing 
                               
all the roadrunning has been in vain

           
all the roadrunning
           
all the roadrunning

Verse 3:
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
And when there is only a ring in your ears
And an echo down memory lane
Then if it’s all for nothing
All the roadrunning has been in vain

All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning

Verse 4:
The show’s packing up, i sit and I watch
The carnival eaving town
There’s no pretending that 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, has been in vain

Fill:	     				

Verse 6:
I've a million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
And i’m still your man for the roaming
For as long as there's roaming allowed
There’ll be a rider and there’ll be a wall
As long as the dream remains
And if it’s all for nothing
All the road running, it’s been in vain

All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunnung
