Jackson Browne Lyrics
Lyrics
Running on empty
Black and white
Our lady of the well
Lives in the balance
Hold out

Cocaine
Looking east
Lawless avenues
I thought i was a
Rosie
Farther on
The road and the sky
Looking into you
Love needs a heart

Jackson Browne Lyrics
NEW Lyrics!
Doctor my eyes
Late for the sky
The barricades of
That girl could sing
Information wars
You love the thunder
Walking slow
Some bridges
Red neck friend
Alive in the world
Lawyers in love
Till i go down
Nothing but time
All "Jackson Browne"

Jackson Browne For America Lyrics:
As if I really didn't understand
That I was just another part of thir plan
I went off looking for the promise
Believing in the Motherland
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
And the safety of my own head
I went out speaking of the future
While other people fought and bled
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that found wasn't quite as sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
It's in my blood and in my bones
By the dawn's early light
By all I know is right
We're going to reap what we have sown
As if freedom was a question of might
As if loyalty was black and white
You hear people say all the time--
"My country wrong or right"
I want to know what that't got to do
With what it takes to find out what's true
With everyone from the President on down
Trying to keep it from you
The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms
Who send their sons to the Vietnams
Will they really think their way of life
Has been protected as the next war comes?
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
Her shining dream plays in my mind
By the rockets' red glare
A generation's blank stare
We better wake her up this time
The kid I was when I first left home
Was looking for his freedom and a life of his own
But the freedom that he found
wasn't quite as sweet
When the truth was known
I have prayed for America
I was made for America
I can't let go till she comes around
Until the land of the free
Is awake and can see
Until her conscience has been found
