I`ve Been The One Lyrics

(written by Lowell George)
(Performed by Jackson Browne on the Lowell George tribute album Rock And Roll
Doctor;1997)

I`ve been the one who has been frightened
and almost borne away by the very thoughts
that I feared yesterday
And it must be the dust or smoke that`s in my eyes

How can I cry about something from someone I won`t see
Oh my friends all say she had her chance
Let`s go shoot some pool
Ya know a fool is just a fool
And I`ve tried everything that whiskey cures
But the pain endures and now I`m feeling that pain
I put my pride in my pocket
That`s how I`ll spend my loneliest days
and it must be dust or smoke that`s in my eyes

Don`t know what to do
Hold the lamp above the rafters
These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her
I`ve been the one who has been frightened
and almost borne away by the very thoughts
that I feared yesterday
and it must be dust or smoke that`s in my eyes
