I never was a very good singer.
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
The idea that I wrote something that stood for the way I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my favorite thing that I've done.
Jackson Browne
Image
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight To keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, you've got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
Jackson Browne
Image
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
Image
Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.
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
Famine and disaster, right there in front of you, and the more you watch, the less you do.
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
I'd have to say that my favorite thing is writing a song that really says how I feel, what I believe - and it even explains the world to myself better than I knew it.
Jackson Browne
Image
Now if I seem to be afraidTo live the life that I have made in songWell it's just that I've been losing so long.
Jackson Browne
Image
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age
Jackson Browne
Image
I grew up reading Shakespeare and Mark Twain.

When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me. Looks like it's you and me again tonight Rosie.
