Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields

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

C G
Running on, running on empty
C G
Running on, running blind
C G
Running into the sun
Em
But I'm running behind
C G C G
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
C G C G
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive

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 I'm on
(Repeat Refrain)
Bridge:

Everyone I know, everywhere I go

People need some reason to believe

I don't know about anyone but me
Em C D7/A G
If it takes all night, that'll be all right

If I can get you to smile before I leave
C G C G
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
C G C G
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
(Repeat Refrain)
