about

Similarly to the song before it, Running on Empty is a tame song as it begins. Yet an overdriven guitar solo at the bridge leaves a distorted, gritty guitar track looming for the remainder of the song.

With various references to automobiles symbolizing movement and travel, Running on Empty was inspired by love, or the lack thereof. The song discusses longing for an individual only once the relationship with them has been ended.

lyrics

I've been driving all night down a one-way road
And there's something, baby, that I didn't know
I've been going the wrong way but I couldn't tell
Until I saw your headlights but I'm driving still

When the light turns red maybe I'll tell you when

I'm running on empty and I need some fuel
I'm missing my baby, all I need is you

And as our cars collide maybe I'll let you know
If I still hold love for you or if I let it go
You crashed your car driving the highway of my heart
Distance makes you grow fonder, now you're gone I'm in love

When the light turns red maybe I'll tell you when

I'm running on empty and I need some fuel
I'm missing my baby, all I need is you

The sirens wail to no avail
It's too late, I can't be saved

I'm running on empty and I need some fuel
I'm missing my baby, all I need is you
I'm running on, I'm running on, I'm running on empty
I'm running on, I'm running on, I'm running on empty
