Cover art for The Load Out/Stay lyrics by Jackson Browne

From Running On Empty, the first time I heard this song, I loved it! Whenever the deejay prefaces a song saying, "stay tuned, the next one's by Jackson Browne"... my fingers are crossed that it will be The Loadout/Stay. I don't know why the song speaks to me so deeply. I have no personal experience of what it is like to be performing on the road, but this song delivers the message with a wallop. I guess my favorite part of the song is how The Loadout melds so perfectly into Stay, as if the second song was intended to be a refrain. Certainly on my top ten list, I just don't get to hear this song often enough.
