JACKSON BROWNE - Running On Empty lyrics

rate me

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels<br>Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields<br>In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one<br>I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on<br><br>Running on - running on empty<br>Running on - running blind<br>Running on - running into the sun<br>But I'm running behind<br><br>Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive<br>Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive<br>In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own<br>I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on<br><br>Running on - running on empty<br>Running on - running blind<br>Running on - running into the sun<br>But I'm running behind<br><br>Everyone I know, everywhere I go<br>People need some reason to believe<br>I don't know about anyone but me<br>If it takes all night, that'll be all right<br>If I can get you to smile before I leave<br><br>Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels<br>I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels<br>I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through<br>Looking into their eyes I see them running too<br><br>Running on - running on empty<br>Running on - running blind<br>Running on - running into the sun<br>But I'm running behind<br><br>Honey you really tempt me<br>You know the way you look so kind<br>I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind<br>You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find<br>Running into the sun but I'm running behind
