I'M ALIVE === Jackson Browne Here's the latest by Jackson Browne, off The album of the same name.

It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone I look around my life tonight and you are gone I might have done something to keep you if I'd known How unhappy you'd become

Well I was dreaming of you With my heart in your hands And I was following through With my beautiful plans

Yeah, now I'm rolling down this canyon drive With your laughter in my head Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive 'cuz those dreams are dead But I'm alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name I want to lose my sorrow and be free again And I know I've been insane When I think of the places I could've been

But I was dreaming of you With my heart in your hands And I was following through With my beautiful plans

(solo) Standing here by the highway side Watching these trucks blow by Inches from my face Yeah, thinking about the time I've wasted And the pleasure we once tasted Looking up and down this road I've been here before Can't be here no more

Yeah, now I'm rolling down this California five With your laughter in my head Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive 'cuz those dreams are dead But I'm alive

Look at the way I believed in you and loved you all these years Now you could fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears You told me what was in your heart but baby you lied And I thought that it would kill me, but I'm alive!
