Running On Empty

Jackson Browne

Transposer:

Intro: (I don’t know where I’m running now I’m just running on) VERSE 1) - - 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 running up 101 I don’t know where I’m running now I’m just running on (Running on) Running on empty (Running on) Running blind (Running on) Running into the sun but running 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 everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don’t know about anyone but me If it takes all night that’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 really tempt me You know the way you look so kind 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. ENDING pattern 12 times (with slide guitar solo)

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment d'avancer sans véritable but, comme si la vie était une course sans fin. Le narrateur se remémore des moments passés, comparant le chemin parcouru aux champs d'été qui défilent, tout en réalisant qu'il a perdu de vue sa direction. Il parle de l'importance de préserver l'amour malgré les épreuves de la vie et de la difficulté de jongler entre ses besoins existentiel et de survie. En filigrane, on ressent la quête d'une raison d'y croire, un besoin de connexion dans un monde qui semble pressé. Les souvenirs d’amis qui l'aidaient autrefois à avancer se mêlent à une réflexion sur le passage du temps, alors qu'il continue à courir, espérant un jour trouver ce qu'il cherche avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.
