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 101

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 called the road my own

I don't know when that road turned onto 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 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.
