I've been listening to this song obsessively for a couple of weeks now.

"I've heard all those hard luck tales
From all of you US males"

For some reason I really like that line.

this album is something of a guilty pleasure of mine- I was never a huge Jackson Browne fan, but Running on Empty is still a top notch album. Also, Danny Korchmar was a good songwriter. (and has the same birthday as me).

Despite all it's dated-ness, I still put this on from time to time.
