It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was driving
Trees went by, me and Del were singing
'Little Runaway', I was flyin'

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waiting down this road
I'm picking up whatever is mine

I'm runnin' down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

Yeah, I'm runnin' down a dream
It never would come to me
Working on a mystery
Going wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

Remember the first time I heard this song, I was sat in traffic in central London and suddenly I wasn't annoyed, but just listened to a great song

Ya, but BillG plays the post 2010 songs, and they are VERY under-rated. Try ‘em. I love Mojo, especially First Flash ofFreedom

I love the early stuff, but when the mid 80's hit his music got really lame.  And yeah, it's overplayed everywhere and especially this song.  Bleh.

Ok - I love that on a TP song we’re riffing on Keef, my hero. So who’s got his autograph? In’Life’? I do!

Too much Tom Petty, almost as much as too much Talking Heads.   Really good bands,  yes.  Great bands overplayed way beyond all others here?  No.

One of the best driving songs ever, from a great road-trip soundtrack album! I can never forget driving my cherry old Chevy from Boulder all the way down to Boca Raton, where my brother and his wife were living at the time, the summer of '90, after I'd just got back from two years in Shizuoka, on a long vacation before Grad School at CU... As I watched the sun set near Pensacola, realizing I was still a long ways from South Florida, this song came on. I cranked it all the way up, put the pedal down, and made some time. Thanks, TP & RP!

Any song that makes my butt muscles sore from chair-dancing rates at least a "9" in my small (and getting smaller) world.  The fact that it got lots of airplay on the stations I once listened to BRP (Before Radio Paradise) has never lessened its impact on me.

And I'm okay with the listeners who don't feel the same way - my wife doesn't love Tom Petty the way I do, and we're still happily married after 39 years

Aah Tom how can you be gone? It's too hard. Have loved you and the music for 40 years and it can't get plucked from your heart so easily.
Love this track and wish I had got to see you more.
I miss our good times we had, sometimes just you, me and the bedroom door to dance with, as I turned the music WAY UP LOUD. It's ok, I had cordless headphones.
I guess I miss part of my youth, the part he took with him.

RIP Guy, you earned it.

There's a new country song that's a nice tribute to the man. 'You, Me, and Tom Petty'. Google gets confused and can't find the artist, but it's nice. I think he'd like it.

There are "commercial songs" that are so-named because they get played the hell out of them on commercial radio.

Then there are "commercial songs" that get played the hell out of them because...well, because they are just so damn good. This is one of those tunes. And RP knows that.

Just because you heard it on the radio doesn't mean it's bad music.  I, for one, miss Tom Petty.  Would I like to hear a few more deeper cuts?  Yes, but this is still a great song.

I always though the lyric was "runnin down the drink", which I have done on occasion.  Then I assumed it was "running down the drain".

You hate Tom Petty because you heard him twice in one afternoon (and you're sure there were others you probably missed).

I'm not sure that RP is the issue here.

One of my 9-year-old daughter's favorite songs. We play it before every cross-country meet (and many other days, too!). This song is part of our family history now. From an 8 to a 10.

The Tom Petty documentary I watched on Netflix several months ago was quite a time investment at four hours (!) but I enjoyed every minute of it and recommend it highly.  Part two (2nd half) has some footage from the Wilburys period that gave me goosebumps.

A very nice follow up to the Kathleen Edwards tune that preceded it.  She is definitely channeling a little TP in Back To Me.  Benmont Tench, keyboards for the Heartbreakers, helped Ms. Edwards out on that album.

Can't say I was ripping it up across the Beartooth Pass, but I cranked this up on cassette when it first came up out when I was a student - pelting around Windsor Great Park in a beloved Valencia Blue '70 Triumph Vitesse mkII.

Great Home Counties Road Trips is a book that will never be written, but I had fun, thanks to Tom and the boys.

The combined sound was colossal, slightly phasing the acoustic guitar. According to my sister, Mr. Petty was audible from the bus stop, a good two hundred yards away. I was so proud.

It's also hard to listen to while driving. The lyrics ("I put the pedal down to make some time") and the fast paced-guitar combine to make it very hard to go the speed limit. Not that I would ever break the speed limit...
