Running on Empty -
CodeWarrior - 10-25-2004
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 donât know where Iâm running now, Iâm just running on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Iâm 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 donât know when that road turned onto the road Iâm on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Iâm running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I donât know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, thatâll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I donât 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 Iâm running behind
Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
Iâd love to stick around but Iâm running behind
You know I donât even know what Iâm hoping to find
Running into the sun but Iâm running behind
