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
