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
It’s said the best songwriters can create genius from even the most routine situations, like how Jackson Browne turned a hit song out of just simply running out of gas…figuratively and literally.
