"Running on Empty" Lyrics

5.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
verse 1
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

chorus
Running on-running on empty
Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I'm running behind

verse 2
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

chorus
Running on-running on empty
Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I'm running behind

bridge
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

verse 3
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

chorus
Running on-running on empty
Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I'm running behind

outro
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
