[Verse 1: Mark Knopfler]
A million miles our vagabond wheels
Clocked up beneath the clouds
They're counting down to showtime
When we do it for real with the crowds
Air miles are owing
But they don't come for free
And they don't give you any for pain
[Chorus: Mark Knopfler]
But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning
Has been in vain
[Verse 2: Emmylou Harris]
The rimshots come down like cannon fire
And thunder off the wall
There's a man in every corner
And each one is giving his all
But this is my piper
This is my drum
So you never will hear me complain
[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Emmylou Harris]
And if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning
Has been in vain
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
A million miles our vagabond wheels
Clocked up beneath the clouds
They're counting down to showtime
When we do it for real with the crowds
Air miles are owing
But they don't come for free
And they don't give you any for pain
[Chorus: Mark Knopfler]
But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning
Has been in vain
[Verse 2: Emmylou Harris]
The rimshots come down like cannon fire
And thunder off the wall
There's a man in every corner
And each one is giving his all
But this is my piper
This is my drum
So you never will hear me complain
[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Emmylou Harris]
And if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning
Has been in vain
All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning
