Everybody's On The Run Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

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
