Lyrics of
These Days

This song reflects Jackson Brownes feelings about his lifestyle in his youth, full of uncertainties and reflections on his choices and changes in his life. The song was inspired by his life in Los Angeles, California, as well as experiences gained through his travels.

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
about the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to


I've stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
how all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I'd see another highway


I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
these days
And if I seem to be afraid
to live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long

La-la-la-la-la
La-la

I stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit on cornerstones
and count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
