[Roger McGuinn: Verse]
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
“We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
[Refrain]
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
[Tom Petty: Verse]
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
“Rip down all hate,” I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
[Refrain]
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
[Neil Young: Verse]
Girls’ faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Un-thought of, though, somehow
[Refrain]
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
[Eric Clapton: Guitar Solo]
[Eric Clapton: Verse]
A self-ordained professor’s tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
“Equality,” I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
[Refrain]
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
[Bob Dylan: Verse]
In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I’d become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
[Refrain]
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
[George Harrison: Verse]
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
[Refrain]
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
[Neil Young: Guitar Solo]
