When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more

Bob Dylan at Budokan

Here is your throat back;
Thanks for the loan

Rough and Rowdy Ways

Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances

Dylan

You're the one I've been looking for,;
You're the one that's got the key.;
But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you;
Or you're too good for me.

The Complete Budokan 1978

What good am I if I know and don't do,;
I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 12: The Best of The Cutting Edge 1965 – 1966

Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?

Planet Waves

If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?

Self Portrait

Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.

Modern Times

It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.

Slow Train Coming

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart

Down in the Groove

I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray

Bringing It All Back Home

I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes;
They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes;
All the young men with their young women looking so good;
Well, I'd trade places with any of them ;
In a minute, if I could

The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan

the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same
