On his approach to writing and how its changed over the years: 'I used to write more, but life intercedes and you end up doing a lot of stuff that's extraneous to your writing. I get an idea and work on it. I sometimes write a song over a long period of time. I wish I could say its catching lightning in a bottle, but that would suggest that it happens fast. Sometimes it happens fast, but usually I cross-examine myself and make sure I got in it what I wanted. I tear it apart and that takes a while. Basically, I'm not in a hurry and I want to make sure everything I write is worthy of being added to the body of my work.'

On his longevity: 'I really didn't think I'd still be doing this. I didn't know what I would be doing after 30, so each time I'd looked at the shelf date, it was kind of a marvel (laughs). But what it turns out to be is that I still love playing. I didn't think about it before, but some of my favorite artists were older guys, like Mississippi John Hurt or Doc Watson. There isn't a reason why you shouldn't be able to play your whole life.'

On writing 'These Days' at such a precocious age: 'It should be said that when people are young, they may not have gone through as much life, but they have sometimes gone though as much heartache and trauma. I can't tell you what mine might have been (laughs) but young people have very deep emotional stuff going on.'

On a possible new album: 'I've got about half an album recorded, but we'll see as we go along.'

On getting older: 'That's what happens when all goes well.' (Laughs.)

History[edit]

Browne wrote the song while driving to the studio each day to make The Pretender, according to Rolling Stone magazine: 'I was always driving around with no gas in the car,' Browne is quoted. 'I just never bothered to fill up the tank because — how far was it anyway? Just a few blocks.'^[4]

The song starts off with an immediate, propulsive backbeat, with the melody carried by piano and throughout laced by David Lindley's distinctive lap steel guitar work. Browne receives vocal back up from Rosemary Butler and Doug Haywood.

Rolling Stone writer Paul Nelson saw 'Running on Empty' as embodying a 'tenacious, win/lose duality' and being 'what daydreamers have nightmares about'.^[6]

With its number 11 peak on the Hot 100 in Spring 1978, 'Running on Empty' was Browne's third-biggest hit single in his career (trailing only 'Doctor My Eyes' and 'Somebody's Baby'), and subsequently became his most-played song on classic rock radio formats.

Later uses[edit]

This song appeared in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, featured in the scene where Forrest was running across the United States.

Deivamagal serial climax. In August 2008, Browne sued presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain, the Ohio Republican Party, and the Republican National Committee for unauthorized use of 'Running on Empty' in a television commercial mocking presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama's energy policy.^[7] The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum in July 2009, with the McCain campaign, the Ohio Republican Party, and the Republican National Committee issuing a joint apology for using the song.^[8] Browne said, 'I'm really happy that we got this statement from them. It's great to have it affirmed that these [copyright and usage] laws stand. I've had an idea of how my songs are protected and how money is collected and how making a living as a musician works for my whole career, and it's great to have it affirmed and to know that we're absolutely right in standing up to them.'^[8]

Rick Price and Jack Jones covered the song on their album California Dreaming (2017).

Ugly Americans front man Bob Schneider recorded a slower, more acoustic-oriented version of the song for the 2014 Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne album.
