Jackson Browne, |
The Only Child |
| I look around for the friends I used to turn to pull me through. Looking into their eyes, I see them running, too. |
Jackson Browne, |
Running On Empty |
| These days I seem to think about the things I forgot to do for you and all the times I had a chance to. |
Jackson Browne, |
These Days |
| People look around you, the signs are everywhere. You've left it for somebody other than you to be the one who to care. |
Jackson Browne, |
Rock Me On The Water |
| The high ideals and promises you once dressed the future in are dancing in the embers with the wind. |
Jackson Browne, |

Jackson Browne, |
That Girl Could Sing |
| I followed those highway signs and I've run down those thin white lines. |
Jackson Browne, |

The Pretender |
| Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons. |
Jackson Browne, |
The Road |
| I'm losing touch with reality and I'm almost out of blow. It's such a fine line, I hate to see it go. Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain. |
Jackson Browne, |
Cocaine |
| When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me. Looks like it's you and me again tonight Rosie. |
Jackson Browne, |
Rosie |
| Forget what life used to be, you are what you choose to be. It's whatever it is you see that life will become. |

Jackson Browne, |
Soldier Of Plenty |
| No matter how fast I run, I can't get away from me. |
Jackson Browne, |
Your Bright Baby Blues |

Jackson Browne, |
The Pretender |
| Eleven on a scale of ten, honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend. |
Jackson Browne, |
Redneck Friend |
| I let her do some of my laundry and she slipped in a few meals in between, and next thing I remember, she was all moved in. |
Jackson Browne, |
Ready Or Not |
| Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them. |
Jackson Browne, |
These Days |
| They sell us the President the same way they sell us our clothes and cars. |
Jackson Browne, |
Lives In The Balance |
| I was doing my best Bogart, but I was having trouble getting into her jeans. |
Jackson Browne, |
Ready Or Not |
| I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, it could be that I've lost my way. |
Jackson Browne, |
Farther On |
| Let the music keep our spirits high, let the buildings keep our children dry, let creation reveal its secrets by and bye. |
Jackson Browne, |
Before The Deluge |
