My Back Pages(Album Version) - The Byrds

作词：Bob Dylan

作曲：Bob Dylan

Crimson flames tied through my ears

Throwin' high and mighty traps

Countless fire and flaming road

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-wracked prejudice leaped forth

Rip down all hate I screamed

Lies that life is black and white

Spoke from my skull I dreamed

Romantic flanks of musketeers

Foundation deep somehow

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 dogs who teach

Fearing not I'd become my enemy

In the instant that I preach

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

Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now

My guard stood hard when abstract threats

Too noble to neglect

Deceived me into thinking

I had something to protect

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
