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 on 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 into 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 alright
Cause 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
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'll be the tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
Enough to stick around but I'm running behind
Running on
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find (hoping to find)
Running into the sun
But I'm running behind
