Running on Empty (Tribute Concert)

Running on Empty (Tribute Concert) - Jackson Browne

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

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 I 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 that

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

I don't even know what I'm hoping to find

Running into the sun but I'm running behind
