Det er gået lidt op og ned med mig og Jackson Browne, siden dengang i halvfjerdserne, hvor jeg var helt oppe at ringe på hans plader. Jeg ved egentlig ikke, hvorfor det er gået sådan, for hans plader holder i den grad – i kraft af nogle gode sange. Og lige nu er jeg kommet ind i en bølge igen – i kraft af et enkelt nummer, “Running on empty”, der er med på den tidligere omtalte Forrest Gump-soundtrack-plade.
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 onRunning on, running on empty
Running on, running blind
Running on, running into the sun
But I’m running behindGotta 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 I called the road my own
I don’t know when that road turned, into the road I’m onRunning on, running on empty
Running on, running blind
Running on, running into the sun
But I’m running behindEveryone 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 leaveLooking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don’t know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running tooRunning on, running on empty
Running on, running blind
Running on, running into the sun
But I’m running behindHoney 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
