Running on Empty Lyrics

Your old leather jacket

Hanging in the corner

Reminds me of daydreams

Of when we were younger

We were laughing and playing

And living in wonder

Hoping for better

Being together

You used to play guitar like nobody’s business

You used to love me

You used to hold me

You used to dance with me

Every Saturday night

Now you’re watching TV

Running on empty

Well I still remember when there was life in your eyes

Nothing can get you down

Nothing can make you sad

Now there’s an emptiness

Living from day to day

Molding your thinking

And chipping away your soul

Now we’re much older

Our girls are all grown up

Something has left you

You’re just not the same

I wish I could see you

The way that we were then

I wish I could give you

A son who’d adore you

You used to play guitar like nobody’s business

You used to love me

You used to hold me

You used to dance with me

Every Saturday night

Now you’re watching TV

Running on empty

Running on empty

Sometimes I wake up

In the middle of the night

Just to watch you sleeping

The way you used to be

You used to play guitar like nobody’s business

You used to love me

You used to hold me

You used to dance with me

Every Saturday night

Now you’re watching TV

Running on empty

Running on empty

Your old leather jacket

Hanging in the corner

Reminds me of daydreams

Of when we were younger

We were laughing and playing

And living in wonder

Hoping for better

Being together

Your old leather jacket

Hanging in the corner

Reminds me of daydreams

Of when we were younger
