"Running on Empty" is one of Jackson Browne's most recognizable songs — a 1977 live recording that captured both the energy of the road and the toll it takes over time.
A No. 11 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 when it was released as a single, and it spent 17 weeks on the chart. Rolling Stone ranked it at No. 496 on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2010.
