Running on Empty — текст песни (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 dont know where Im running now, Im just running on



Running on - running on empty

Running on - running blind

Running on - running into the sun

But Im 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 dont know when that road turned onto the road Im on



Running on - running on empty

Running on - running blind

Running on - running into the sun

But Im running behind



Everyone I know, everywhere I go

People need some reason to believe

I dont know about anyone but me

If it takes all night, thatll be all right

If I can get you to smile before I leave



Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

I dont 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 Im running behind



Honey you really tempt me

You know the way you look so kind

Id love to stick around but Im running behind

You know I dont even know what Im hoping to find

Running into the sun but Im running behind
