Lyric 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-o-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 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

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 all right
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 fore the friends that I used to turn 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 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 hopping to find
Running into the sun but I m running behind
