Jackson Browne - Running On Empty lyrics

Album: Best Of-Next Voice You Hear (1997)

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the yeahrs gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen & running up one-o-one
I do not know where I am running now, I am just running on

Running on-running on empty
Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I am running behind

Have got to 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 & I called the road my own
I do not know when that road turned onto the road I am on

Running on-running on empty
Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I am running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I do not 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 do not 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 am running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I would love to stick around but I am running behind
You know I do not even know what I am hoping to find
Running into the sun but I am running behind
