Running On Empty Lyrics

[00:22.04] Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
[00:29.34] Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
[00:35.91] '65, I was 17 and running up 101
[00:43.16] I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
[00:49.18] Running on (running on empty)
[00:52.46] Running on (running blind)
[00:56.39] Running on (running into the sun)
[00:59.17] But I'm running behind
[01:04.25] Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
[01:10.88] Trying not to confuse it, with what you do to survive
[01:18.04] '69, I was 21 and I called the road my own
[01:25.42] I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on
[01:31.42] Running on (running on empty)
[01:34.98] Running on (running blind)
[01:38.57] Running on (running into the sun)
[01:41.24] But I'm running behind
[01:44.48]
[02:07.76] Everyone I know, everywhere I go
[02:14.85] People need some reason to believe
[02:18.34] I don't know about anyone, but me
[02:21.91] If it takes all night, that'll be all right
[02:28.76] If I can get you to smile before I leave
[02:36.11] Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
[02:42.97] I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
[02:49.83] Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
[02:56.88] Looking into their eyes, I see them running too
[03:03.01] Running on (running on empty)
[03:06.54] Running on (running blind)
[03:10.02] Running on (running into the sun)
[03:12.91] But I'm running behind
[03:17.96] Honey, you really tempt me
[03:20.46] You know the way you look so kind
[03:24.75] I'd love to stick around, but I'm running behind
[03:30.71] (Running on) You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
[03:36.57] (Running blind) Running into the sun, but I'm running behind
[03:46.84]
[04:52.02] Thank you
[04:53.89]
