Running on Empty

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields In '85 I was seventeen, gunning up the 101 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 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 '89 I was twenty-one and 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 into the sun But I'm running behind [Bridge] Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe 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 I used to turn to to pull me through Looking into their eyes I see that they're running too [Chorus] Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running into the sun But I'm running behind [Verse 4] Honey, you really tempt me 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 I'm running into the sun but I'm running behind
