Today's gem comes from Charleston's Mix 100.9 again, because who can't live with an Kennie Bass InfoBlast in the mornings?
It's "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne.
Yeah. I am.
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In '65 I was 17 and running up one-o-one
I dont 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 I'm running behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In '69 I was 21 and I called the road my own
I dont know when that road turned onto the road I'm on
Running on -- running on empty
Running on -- running blind
Running on -- running into the sun
But I'm running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I dont 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
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I dont 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
Running on -- running on empty
Running on -- running blind
Running on -- running into the sun
But I'm running behind
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
I can live with that. I find it far more pleasing that last week's Bon Jovi. *shudder*

Say a prayer for The Pretender.
I think if I woke up to "Sympathy for the Devil" I'd be in for the best day ever.
For me, it would be "Shattered" by the Rolling Stones.
