Runnin' Down a Dream- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

"There's something good waitin' down this road"

Another day late post...sorry.  I went on a road trip yesterday to a podunk town for orientation for a college that I am taking a class from this summer.  So dumb that I had to go on campus tour that was 2 hours away when I am only take one class.....oh and it's online.  But we did get to visit an Ahmish community and eat lunch there....SO GOOD.

I love Tom Petty which is weird because I usually don't like singers who don't have an appealing voice.  It's probably because his music is so awesome.  I actually almost wore my Tom Petty concert shirt yesterday, well until I got deoderant all over the front of it.....ugh.  But, I believe that this song is a perfect road trip kind of song.

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
The trees went by, me and Del were singin'
Little Runaway, I was flyin'

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sun shine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

I rolled on as 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 is mine

Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
