I've Been The One Lyrics - Jackson Browne

(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
