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.
