my back pages - joan osborne & jackson browne lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
crimson flames tied through my ears
rolling high and mighty traps
pounced with fire on flaming roads
using ideas as my maps
“we’ll meet on edges, soon,” said i
proud ‘neath heated brow

[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now

[verse 2]
half*wracked prejudice leaped forth
“rip down all hate,” i screamed
lies that life is black and white
spoke from my skull, i dreamed
romantic facts of musketeers
foundationed deep, somehow

[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now

[verse 3]
girls’ faces formed the forward path
from phony jealousy
to memorizing politics
of ancient history
flung down by corpse еvangelists
unthought of, though, somehow
[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older thеn
i’m younger than that now

[verse 4]
a self*ordained professor’s tongue
too serious to fool
spouted out that liberty
is just equality in school
“equality,” i spoke the word
as if a wedding vow

[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now

[verse 5]
in a soldier’s stance, i aimed my hand
at the mongrel dogs who teach
fearing not i’d become my enemy
in the instant that i preach
my existence led by confusion boats
mutiny from stern to bow

[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
[verse 6]
yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
too n0ble to neglect
deceived me into thinking
i had something to protect
good and bad, i define these terms
quite clear, no doubt, somehow

[refrain]
ah, but i was so much older then
i’m younger than that now
