Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields

In '65 I was seventeen and running up the 101

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 '69 I was twenty-one, 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

But I'm running behind

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 I used to turn to to pull me through

Looking into their eyes, I see that they're running too

Running on, running on empty

Running on, running blind

Running on, running into the sun

But I'm running behind

Running on, running on empty

Running on, running blind

Running on, running into the sun

But I'm running behind

I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind

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

I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind

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

I'm hoping to find

I'm hoping to find

I'm hoping to find

I'm hoping to find
