Running on Empty was Browne’s grand experiment, a collection of all-new songs recorded live on stage, in hotels, and on the tour bus. While driving to the studio every day to work on The Pretender, Browne wrote the title track. He stated, “I was always driving around with no gas in the car.” “I simply never bothered to fill up the tank because, after all, how far was it? It’s only a few blocks away.”
