)


[Verse 1]
             
Looking out at

            
 the road rush

              
ing under my w

             
heels
             
Looking back a

            
t the years go

              
ne by like so 

             
many summer fi

 
elds
             
In sixty-five 

            
I was seventee

             
n and running 

       
up 101
             
I don't know w

          
here I'm runni

              
ng now, I'm ju

   
st running on


[Chorus]
           
(Running on) R

          
unning on empt

y
           
(Running on) R

       
unning blind
           
(Running on) R

              
unning into th

             
e sun, but run

       
ning behind.


[Verse 2]
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 called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on.


[Chorus] 1x


[Intro] (with slide guitar)


[Bridge]

           
   Everyone I 

            
know,  everywh

      
ere I go
           
   People need

             
 some reason t

    
o believe
              
   I don't kno

         
w about anyone

 but me
           
   If it takes

            
 all night,  t

              
hat'll be all 


right
             
  If I can get

             
 you to smile 

                             
before I leave


[Verse 3]
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 I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too


[Chorus] 1x


[Verse 4]
             
Honey you real

            
ly tempt me,  

             
You know the w

              
ay you look so

    
 kind
             
I'd love to st

             
ick around but

              
 I'm running b

                  
ehind
             
You know I don

             
't even know w

              
hat I'm hoping

                  
 to find
             
Running into t

             
he sun but I'm

              
 running behin
