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 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
