Текст песни My Back Pages

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,

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth

"Rip down all hate," I screamed

Too noble to neglect

Deceived me into thinking

Good and bad, I define these terms

Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.
