In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
Running into the sun but I'm running behind
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running on, running on empty
Running on, running blind
But I'm running behind
Running on, running into the sun
Running behind
Running on, running blind
You know the way you look so kind
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to, to pull me through
But I'm running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
But I'm running behind
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
Running on, running on empty
I don't know about anyone but me
People need some reason to believe
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on
Running on, running on empty
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
But I'm running behind
Running on, running into the sun
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Running on
I'd love to stick around
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Honey, you really tempt me
Running on, running blind
