The Long Way Around - Jackson Browne I dont know what to say about these days Im seeing people changing in the strangest ways Even in the richer neighborhoods People dont know when theyve got it good Theyve got the envy, and theyve got it bad When I was a kid everything I did was trying to be free Running up and down Tinsel Town with the fire inside of me My planets all in retrograde, the best of all my plans got laid I made my breaks, and some mistakes Just not the ones people think I made Now Im a long way gone Down this wild road Im on Its going to take me where Im bound But its the long way around Its so hard keeping track of whats gone wrong The covenant unravels, and the news just rolls along I could feel my memory letting go some two or three disasters ago Its hard to say which did more ill Citizens United or the Gulf oil spill And Im a long way gone Down this wild road Im on Its going to take me take me where Im bound But its the long way around Its never been that hard to buy a gun Now theyll sell a Glock 19 to just about anyone The seeds of tragedy are there In what we feel we have the right to bear To watch our children come to harm There in the safety of our arms With all we disagree about The passions burn, the heart goes out And were a long way gone Down this wild road were on Its going to take us where were bound Its just the long way around youtu.be/PLqubedaDP4
