  In '65, I w as seventeen , running up  101

      C/G                      G                         Em 
      Running into the sun, but 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 don't know where this road turned into the one I'm on.  

(chorus and repeat intro)

  Em              C        D                     G   Em                         D              C 
  Everyone I know ,everywhere I  go, people need some reason to believe 

  Em                C         D                  G 
  If it takes all night,  that'll be all  right  
  C                            D                    C G/B Am G Em D 
  If I can get you to smile before I leave.            

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 that I used to turn to that pulled me through.  
Looking into their eyes, I see they're running, too.  

chorus  

 


 C/G                         G                                  C/G       C/G G
  Honey, you really tempt me, the way you look so kind.  
  C                                    D                             C G/B Am G Em D 
  I wanna know who you are but I'm running behind.          
  C                          D                                        C G/B Am G Em D 
 And I don't even  know what I'm hoping  to  find.  
   
 
  C                         D                       C G/B Am G
 Running into the sun, but running behind.

About artist:

Clyde Jackson Browne (born October 9, 1948) is an American rock singer-songwriter and musician, whose introspective lyrics made him the poster boy of the Southern California confessional singer-songwriter movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 2004, Browne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by fellow American musical artist and good friend, Bruce Springsteen. Browne also received, in 2004, an honorary Doctorate of Music from Occidental College in Los Angeles, for "a remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social change and justice".[1]
