My Pledge Neil Young (Ft. Jim Keltner & Paul Bushnell)

"My Pledge"

If it please the court I've had a lot to say
And it's not always been true
Standing here before you, judge
I make my pledge of truth to you

The waves came over the bow
The decks awash with running green and foam
Back there at the wheel I was terrified
Next day we first saw home

My relatives came over on the Mayflower
Landed on the shore almost alone
Now that damn traffic today is terrible
And everywhere I look I see people alone

Alone with their heads looking in their hands
Lost in the conversation stare
Walking with their eyes looking at the screen
Talking like they were really there

I'm lost in this new generation
Left me behind it seems
Listening to the shadow of Jimi Hendrix
"Purple Haze", sounding like TV
