Running on Empty - Intellectual

[Intro]

Lookin' out at the road rushin' under my wheels

Lookin' back at the years gone by like so many summer fields

In '65, I was seventeen and runnin' up 101

I don't know where I'm runnin' now, I'm just runnin' on

(Runnin' on) Runnin' on empty

(Runnin' on) Runnin' blind

(Runnin' on) Runnin' into the sun

But I'm runnin' 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 twenty-one and I called the road my own

I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on

(Runnin' on) Runnin' on empty

(Runnin' on) Runnin' blind

(Runnin' on) Runnin' into the sun

But I'm runnin' 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

Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through

Looking into their eyes I see them runnin' too

(Runnin' on) Runnin' on empty, yeah

(Runnin' on) Runnin' blind

(Runnin' on) Runnin' into the sun

But I'm runnin' behind

Honey, you really tempt me

You know the way you look so kind

I'd love to stick around but I'm runnin' behind

(Runnin' on)

You know I don't even know what I'm hopin' to find

(Runnin' blind)

Runnin' into the sun but I'm runnin' behind

Thank you
