My Back Pages (Dylan 30th Anniversary) Bob Dylan (Ft. Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Neil Young, Roger McGuinn & Tom Petty)
[Roger McGuinn: Verse]
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
[Tom Petty: Verse]
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
[Neil Young: Verse]
Girls’ faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Un-thought of, though, somehow
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
[Tom Petty: Verse]
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
[Neil Young: Verse]
Girls’ faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Un-thought of, though, somehow
