Jackson Browne
Oh Lord, are there really people starving still?
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

Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne
Take it easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your own wheelsDrive you crazy.
Jackson Browne
I want to find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means, and we'll fill in the missing numbers in each others paint-by-numbers dreams.
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
I'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
Jackson Browne
Let the disappointments pass Let the laughter fill your glass Let the illusions last until they shatter Whatever you might hope to find among the thoughts that crowd your mind There won't be many that ever really matter.
Jackson Browne
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
Jackson Browne
