More quotes by Jackson Browne
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod And where power and position are equated with the grace of God These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast From the edge of my country, as far as you see, looking east
Jackson Browne
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.
Jackson Browne
I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs.
Jackson Browne
So I had a couple of years of playing trumpet. I really enjoyed it, but it was not the kind of instrument you could whip out at a party. Let's face it.
Jackson Browne
I want to know what became of the changes we waited for love to bring/Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater awakening?
Jackson Browne
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels. Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields.

Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne
I never was a very good singer.
Jackson Browne
Eleven on a scale of ten, honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend.
Jackson Browne
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere, suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear.
Jackson Browne
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems, It would be easier sometimes to change the past.
Jackson Browne
Caught between the longing for love, and the struggle for the legal tender, where the sirens sing and the church bells ring, and the junk man pounds his fender. Where the veterans dream of the fight, fast asleep at the traffic light, and the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor.
Jackson Browne
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.
Jackson Browne
Very often it's really inconvenient - who you fall in love with. You can't really control it.
Jackson Browne
Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.
Jackson Browne
Take it easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your own wheelsDrive you crazy.
Jackson Browne
