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 sixtyfive, 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
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 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 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 really tempt me.
You know the way you look so kind,
I'd love to stick around,
but I'm running behind.
Running on, running on empty

Running into the sun but I'm running behind.
