As a kid with no money to buy cassettes or vinyls when this came out, I waited for this song to play on the radio with an old cassette in the slot on stand-by. Once I hear the intro, I pressed the record button.

I feel like a criminal.

If I could pick a decade to go back to it would be the 70's! It's been one hell of a ride and I'd do it all again.

Every time I move, every new car, every new stereo, this album gets played first. Before you come for my piano....

One of my best friends battled cancer, breast, lungs, then brain. She was in so much pain. She didn't smoke cigarettes and I did some work for her and went into her house. Ashes on coffee table, she had been smoking weed to help with pain. I said light one up for both of us. She donated to the animal shelters and I took her to Lowes to buy a carport thing to go over the cat's cages that were outside. This song came on at Lowes. She said I bet you don't think I know who it is?? She said I'm cool, people just don't know it
Her name was Myla and I called her Milo after the little pug dog movie. I took her to her chemotherapy, stayed with her, was my best buddy. RIP MYLA SMITH. Best friend ever. I wish people would STAY

Can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song. Love when Rosemary Butler and David Lindley sing falsetto in Stay part of the song. Didn't we have the very best music?

[peterblack]

We lift a simple glass to all the fallen of the 60s 70s friends who lived the decades together then faded away but what a time we

If "Runnin' on Empty" isn't on a top 10 album list, that list is invalid.

I worked a concert in 1970's in my college fieldhouse when he played this song. I cried as I was backstage (we did his dressing room and actually put up chairs). great musician and nice guy

Saw Jackson a few years back on his one man up close show. He carried the whole show, took requests!!, can you imagine with that repitoire? Been in love with him since i was a freshman in high school when i first heard running on empty and dr my eyes. We had the music in my generation. Never beatable.

[leonardsturm]

Jackson’s voice moves through your soul. It pierces your emotions.This brings back memories that I can only try to grasp and tearfully see in a fun youthful past never again to exist. Only a distant memory.

We got country and western on the bus...Richard Pryor on the video! The 70s...I want to go back!! PEACE OUT!

[timothyjcrabb]

This kind of story telling of my generation never gets old. So glad I grew up in the best of times ❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[cliffshaw]

Holy crap! I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and I never knew that David Lindley was singing the falsetto.

[markwood]

I've always liked how it sounds like it is ad libbed, with irregular rhyming schemes and syntax. It was probably meticulously composed. But his delivery sells it convincingly as an off-the-cuff song. It ranges from melancholy to playful throughout. And the way it builds is masterful.

I lived within walking distance of Merriweather in the 70's-80's saw Jackson Browne there many times. I was there the night he recorded this, got laid by the girl I took there too - was GREAT night.

[rhondalong]

Jackson Browne is one of those song writers/singers that is amazing and will never get the recognition he deserves. He will always be in my book of favorites. . .always. . .

[alexagm]

Glen Frey, Jackson Brown, Bob Seger, Linda Ronstadt, Don Henley, were all friends coming up and all have had marvelous careers, and provided us with amazing songs to enjoy in our lives.They may get old but their music lives on.

My Dad was IATSE local 504. He worked for Olivia Newton John taking care of her White Yamaha Piano because he could play it and tune it as well as move it and guard it with his life. My Dad was was also in love with her and that annoyed my Mom . "I think she is great too maybe she would like to have 5 kids with you someday" is what my Mom said to my Dad.

[sharonreed]

I was a union stagehand, electrician, followspot operator way back in the day. This song was so endearing.
