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
Running on empty, de Jackson Browne
Foto de Jackson Browne com Danny Kortchmar gravando no ônibus durante o tour do Running on empty
Firmado no rock de raiz folk, Jackson Browne tem uma trajetória rica em matizes, tanto quanto a própria vida. Um ano antes deste Running on empty ser lançado, perdeu a mulher Phyllis, que suicidou com uma overdose de pílulas para dormir. Teve um longo e controverso relacionamento com a atriz Daryl Hannah, que depois de ir embora com JFK Jr. o acusou de maltrato físico. No judiciário foi provada a falsidade de tal imputação.
Inimigo público do Ronald Reagan, participou em atos e festivais contrários à intervenção militar dos Estados Unidos na América Central e tem até hoje intensa atividade em organizações de oposição ao desenvolvimento nuclear com fins bélicos.
No meio disso tudo fez discos maravilhosos como este que, trinta anos depois, nos faz cantar como se fosse hoje, porque ainda estamos correndo pelo nada.
