the backdoor men - my back pages (live) lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
can you hear my guitar?
is it loud enough?
this is a song by mr. robert zimmerman, it’s called “my back pages”

[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
[instrumental break]

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

[verse 3]
in a soldier’s stance, i aimed my hand
at the mongrels who i teach
fearing not i’d become my enemy
in the instant that i preach
ride across and his tiny stocks
the legend seemed to end

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

[outro]
thanks
thanks a lot, thanks a lot
