Running On Empty Lyrics

http://www.learn-classic-rock-songs.com/running_on_empty_lyrics.html ... This song by Jackson Browne was featured in the movie Forrest Gump in 1994. My version of this 1977 hit. Running On Empty Lyrics below.


Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In 65 I was 17 and running up 101
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on - running on empty .. Running on - running blind
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 69 I was 21 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 into the sun - but I'm running behind

BREAK

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 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

Great job again Kirby. Kirby how do you figure out all those fill ins walk up and walk downs? and is there a book that tells you what chords are blended with one another? Thanks.Tony

@ToniMattTony ... Thanks for the feedback ... I just listen to a song and figure out what I think works best .. no book, just my ear ... Kirby

There is a guitar book for fairly advanced guitarists available on Jackon Browne's website. "Jackson Browne Guitar Anthology" as well as 2 other standard chords/lyrics books for the average person.
