--words and music by Bob Dylan and Carole King and Gerry Goffin
from "Live in Tangiers: The Acoustic Shows [Disc 2]" - 1998, Razor and Tie Entertainment
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 Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now Half-racked prejudice is 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 Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now I think I'm goin' back To the places that I loved in my youth I think I'm returning to Those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games To help me pass the time No more electric trains No more hills to climb A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preached My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
MY BACK PAGES / GOIN' BACK (B. Dylan) / (Goffin/King) Two of my all-time favorite songs that just seemed to go together and be a fitting way to wrap this all up.
