Help> Assessment task>Song Running on Empty<Not sure if its a physical journey>HELP

Can someone tell me if this is a PHYSICAL journey and if it is...Can you please tell me what techniques and ideas of journeys are used..Please...


Running on Empty

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don’t know where I’m running now, I’m just running on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don’t know when that road turned onto the road I’m on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don’t know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that’ll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don’t know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I’m running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I’d love to stick around but I’m running behind
You know I don’t even know what I’m hoping to find
Running into the sun but I’m running behind

it can be seen as that i suppose...what is the question? The most obvious technique would be the road metaphor, but depending on the question i couldnt say if this text fits with it

The question is; Find a text that highlights a physical journey, in your essay you must answer the following question;

A) what ideas about joruneys does the text express

B) Discuss the techniques used to communicate ideas about journeys
