Jackson Browne Lyrics

Thank you kindly, I said to a stranger

The man who just bought me a beer

I saw in your eyes a pleasant surprise

Then you asked if I'd ever been here

I told you that you hadn't been paying attention

'Cause I've been around for a while

You laughed as you told me Hey, I'm looking now

Then I think I fell in love with your smile

And the band played Jackson Browne while we sat there and talked all night

And the whiskey we both threw down made you and me seem just right

We didn't know what was in our future, but honey it sure looked bright

We talked the whole night away with Jackson Browne

Next thing I knew you were calling me Baby

When we'd go out on a date

Then one day we went to your family's cabin

Out in the woods by the lake

We spent the weekend fishing and hunting

And I got that seven-point buck

At night you would get out your daddy's guitar

And we sat in the bed of your truck

And you played me Jackson Browne, I can hear it when I close my eyes

With the fireflies and the crickets around, the memory makes me smile

That beautiful summer is ours forever, so many unforgettable nights

You sang the whole world away with Jackson Browne

Now it seems to me that life's like a song

Nothing goes on forever

But I can't imagine there could be a time

When I don't remember

Yes I know that we lost our chance and you'll never be in my life

So I stand in these lights and play Jackson Browne

Oh, I think of you every time I play Jackson Browne
