Running On Empty

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 on one

I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on

Running on empty

Running on

Running blind

Running on

Running into the sun

But I'm running behind

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 into the road I'm on

Running on

Running on empty

Running on

Running blind

Running on

Running into the sun

But I'm running behind

Everyone I know

Everywhere I go

People need some reason to believe

I don't know about anyone but me

If it takes all night

That'll be alright

Cause 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

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

But I'm running behind

Honey you'll be the tempt me

You know the way you look so kind

Enough to stick around but I'm running behind

Running on

You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find (hoping to find)

Running into the sun

But I'm running behind
