words and music by Arlo Guthrie



Running down the road

Make my get away

Everything I told you

was just yesterday

Yes, You know I'm off again

Oh, and I've been told

You were there beside me

Running down the road



Walking down the street

Meet me down the line

Police car at my feet

They were there on time

Everybody's looking for

Something to explode

How can you afford the time

Running down the road



My feet are getting tired

My head begins to spin

Who of us is dreaming

You or me or him?

Yes, You know I'm waiting

While these times unfold

Looking backward briefly

Running down the road



(Repeat first verse)
