Jackson Browne
Image
In the end, they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings. And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge, and in the moment they were swept before the deluge.
Jackson Browne
Image
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
Image
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
Jackson Browne
Image
I taught myself to play the piano, because I wanted to play it.

Jackson Browne
Image
Also, right at that particular time in the music business, because of people like the Beatles, people began owning their own publishing. I'll just say this really quickly - they used to divide the money for the music that was written in two, just equal halves.
Jackson Browne
Image
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.
Jackson Browne
Image
Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.
Jackson Browne
Image
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
Image
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere, suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear.
Jackson Browne
Image
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels. Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields.
Jackson Browne
Image
That's maybe the most important thing each generation does, is to break a lot of rules and make up their own way of doing things.
Jackson Browne
Image
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.
Jackson Browne
