Jackson Browne truly running on empty

I used to like Jackson Browne back when he was still putting out good music… In sixty-nine he was twenty one and called the road his own…

Lately the tired old liberal is out of creativity with nothing better to do than file frivolous lawsuits… I don’t know when that road turned into the road he’s on…

The Ohio Republican Party used his song “Running on Empty” as an entirely appropriate theme for a campaign spot on Obama’s anti-production energy plans…Running on – running on empty…

So, did Jackson Browne ask the Ohio GOP for a license fee like an artist worried about his property rights? Of course not, he did what any good liberal entertainer would do – sued the Republican Senator from Arizona! Ohio, Arizona! If you’re from New York or Los Angeles they all look the same…Running on – running blind, Running on – running into the sun…

The Ohio GOP and Senator McCain settled today…I dont know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels…

Browne hopes he’s sent a message to Republicans who dare use anything but country music in a campaign spot – “We better not. They’ll sue you…” Running into the sun…But Im running behind…

I guess when you’re out of talent, you do what you have to do… Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive, Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive…
