Jackson Browne - I’ve Been Out Walking lyrics

This song appears on the album For Everyman as "THESE DAYS" with slightly different lyrics".

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 stopped my ramblin'

I don't do too much gamblin' these days

These days

These days I seem to think about

How all the changes came about my way

And I wonder if I'll see another highway

And 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

Well it's just 'cause I've been losing so long

Well I'll stop my dreamin'

I don't do too much schemin' these days

These days

These days I'll sit on cornerstones

And count the time in quartertones to ten

Please don't confront me with my failures

I had not forgotten them
