running on empty
Singer:browne, jackson
looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
in sixty-five i was seventeen and running up one-o-one
i don't know where i'm running now
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
in sixty-nine i was twenty-one and i called the road my own
i don't know when that road turned onto the road i'm on
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
people need some reason to believe
i don't know about anyone but me
if i can get you to smile before i leave
looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
i don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
i look around for the friends that i used to turn to to pull me through
looking into their eyes i see them running too
running on - running on empty
running on - running blind
running on - running into the sun
honey you really tempt me
you know the way you look so kind
i'd love to stick around but i'm running behind
you know i don't even know what i'm hoping to find
running into the sun but i'm running behind
