'RUDY RUNNING ON FUME$'I don't know why but this just makes me .. want to SING!!!
Running On Empty (midi 4:03)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 avoidin Viet-nam.
I don't know where Im running now, Im just running onRunning on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behindGotta do what I can to keep my campaign alive
Trying not to confuse folks with all my other lies
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 Im onRunning on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind(interlude)
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People seem to refuse to believe
I don't care anyway, it's all about me
If it takes all night, that'll be alright
If I can just fool you before I leaveLooking 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
But they're in jail now, maybe I should be running tooRunning on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behindJudi you really tempt me
You know the way you look so fine
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(outro)
When it gets a little later, think I'll just have pull out my Fender© gee-tars and amp and play this for a couple hours or so :-)
