|
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 |
|
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find |
|
Running into the sun but I'm running behind |
