My Back Pages (Bob Dylan, Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton & George Harrison)
Great Version!!!
Bob Dylan 30th Anniv of 1st album, 1992
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin’ 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
But I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
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
But I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
Girls faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of though, somehow
But I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
A self-ordained professors tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equali
