Testo My Back Pages - Steve Earle
Testo della canzone My Back Pages (Steve Earle), tratta dall'album The Complete Warner Years
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mining traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
We'll meet on edges soon said I
Pride 'neath heated brow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wrecked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate!" I screamed
Lies that laugh as black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic backs of musketeers
Foundation deep somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Curled faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flushed down by corpse evangelists
Unfollowable somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
A self- aufied professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted up that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality!" I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dog to teach
Fear not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Yes my guns stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I
Had something to protect
Good and bad I defined these terms
Quite clear no doubt somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
