Lookin' out on the road rushin' under my wheels
Lookin' back on the years gone by like so many warm beers
At twenty-one I was throwin' up and running up and down the 1
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

Runnin' on, runnin' on empty
Runnin' on, runnin' blind
Runnin' on, runnin' into the sun
But I'm runnin' behind

You gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Tryin' not to confuse it with what you do to survive
At twenty-five, I was gettin' drunk and driving on the 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

Runnin' on, runnin' on empty
Runnin' on, runnin' blind
Runnin' on, runnin' into the sun
But I'm runnin' behind

You gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Runnin' into the sun but I'm runnin' behind
(Good enough)
