Running on Empty [Remastered]
Lookin' out at the road rushin' under my wheels
Lookin' back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In '65 I was seventeen and runnin' up 101
I don't know where I'm runnin' now, I'm just runnin' on
(Runnin' on) runnin' on empty
(Runnin' on) runnin' blind
(Runnin' on) runnin' into the sun
But I'm runnin' behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Tryin' not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In '69 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
(Runnin' on) runnin' on empty
(Runnin' on) runnin' blind
(Runnin' on) runnin' into the sun
But I'm runnin' 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'd be alright
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Lookin' out at the road rushin' 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
Lookin' into their eyes, I see them runnin' too
(Runnin' on) runnin' on empty
(Runnin' on) runnin' blind
(Runnin' on) runnin' into the sun
But I'm runnin' behind
Honey, you really tempt me, you know, the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around, but I'm runnin' behind
(Runnin' on)
You know I don't even know what I'm hopin' to find
(Runnin' blind)
Runnin' into the sun but I'm runnin' behind
