Running On Empty Lyrics

Cover art for Running On Empty lyrics by Jackson Browne

I was listening to this song and thinking about my Uncle when he was sick from heart disease 'Running on empty' He did amazing to stay alive as long as he did and it was for his wife and family 'do what you can to keep your love alive' etc. All the words seem to remind me of him. Then I recently thought of his birth year 1948, pretty much like the song 65 i was 17. So this song has a deeper meaning for me!!
