Running On Empty Lyrics

Running On Empty lyrics

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 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

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

Running into the sun but I'm running
behind
