"To Follow One's Own Dream (Days That Used To Be)" lyrics
Neil Young & Crazy Horse Lyrics
People say, "Don't rock the boat
Let things go their own way."
Ideas that once seem so right
Now have gotten hard to say
I wish that I could talk to you
And you could talk to me
'Cause there's very few of us left, my friend
From the days that used to be
Seem like such a simple thing:
To follow one's own dream
But possessions and concessions
They are not often what they seem
Well, they drag you down
And load you down
In disguise of security
But we never had to make those deals
In the days that used to be
Talk to me, my long lost friend
Tell me how you are
Are you happy with your circumstance?
Are you driving a new car?
Does it get you where you want to go
With a seven-year warranty?
Just another hundred-thousand miles away
From the days that used to be?
Let things go their own way."
Ideas that once seem so right
Now have gotten hard to say
I wish that I could talk to you
And you could talk to me
'Cause there's very few of us left, my friend
From the days that used to be
Seem like such a simple thing:
To follow one's own dream
But possessions and concessions
They are not often what they seem
Well, they drag you down
And load you down
In disguise of security
But we never had to make those deals
In the days that used to be
Talk to me, my long lost friend
Tell me how you are
Are you happy with your circumstance?
Are you driving a new car?
Does it get you where you want to go
With a seven-year warranty?
Just another hundred-thousand miles away
From the days that used to be?
