Byrds - My Back Pages Lyrics
Written by bob dylanCrimson flames tied through my yearsRollin high and mighty trappedCountless violent flaming roadsUsing ideas as my mapWell meet on edges soon said iProud neath heated browAh but I was so much older thenIm younger than that nowHalf wracked prejudice leaped forthRip down all hate I screamedLies that life is black and whiteSpoke from my skull. I dreamedRomantic flanks of musketeersFoundationed deep, somehowAh but I was so much older thenIm younger than that nowIn a soldiers stance, I aimed my handAt the mongrel dogs who teachFearing not Id become my enemyIn the instant that I preachSisters fled by confusion boatsMutiny from stern to bowAh but I was so much older thenIm younger than that nowMy guard stood hard when abstract threatsToo noble to neglectDeceived me into thinkingI had something to protectGood and bad I define these termsQuite clear, no doubt, somehowAh but I was so much older thenIm younger than that now
