Running On Empty Lyrics - Singles - The Doobie Brothers

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Photos 

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
