Everybody`s On The Run
By: Jimmy Buffett, Marshall Chapman, Will Jennings, Michael Utley
1985
"I talk to more answering machines in a day, than I do to
people. Nobody`s home."
First time I ran was to the end of the block
But I didn`t know then that it never would stop
Now I look around and what do I see
More and more people runnin` faster than me
These days
Everybody`s on the run
These days
Everybody`s on the run
Well I fell in love for the very first time
But I couldn`t keep up with that girl of mine
Night after night on a mighty fast track
She ran like the wind and she never looked back
These days
Everybody`s on the run
These days
Everybody`s on the run
-- Spoken: "Let`s run"
These days
Everybody`s on the run
These days
Everybody`s on the run
Now I`ve been to England and I`ve been to France
I learned to love oysters and I know how to dance
Someday I`ll die and come back again
As some little boy just-a runnin` to win
These days
Everybody`s on the run
These days
Everybody`s on the run
Look in the mirror and what do I see
The gypsy and fool that I always will be
These days
Everybody`s on the run
These days
Everybody`s on the run
These days
Everybody`s on the run
These days
Everybody`s on the run
