The world's a big and a lonesome place
You know it's rare to find a friendly face
Everybody got their tail to chase
Or some time that they plan to waste
Out lazing in the Sun

I try to take some different road
Where I'm bound I can only hope
That it'll lead me through a foreign land
Where I can cool my heels under sacred sands
And reach out to the kingdom

But that's easier said than done
Not to burn your tongue on the rising Sun
It's easier said than done
You're gonna run-run-run for all of your life

Odyssey is just the fantasy
Of a lonely soul lost at sea
Don't you know many a rolling stone
Finds a ditch and dies alone
After they had their fun

'Cause it's easier said than done
Not to burn your tongue on the rising Sun
It's easier said than done
You're gonna run-run-run for all of your life

Well, if you wanna play in a rock 'n' roll band (sha-la-la)
You really better understand

That it's easier said than done
Not to burn your tongue on the rising Sun
It's easier said than done
You're gonna run-run-run
Run-run-run for all of your life
