Travel in peace, Bob Dylan

At one point, I had a version recorded with much better guitar – at least I thought I did – but I can’t find it now…

Another one of those tunes that kept growing after the demo was laid down, this song now has twice as many verses as you hear on this version.

Travel in peace, Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan was just a kid
trying to get away from his own life
Behind a mask he hid
an ordinary life of joy and strife
Some called him a genius
some called him a fool
Most of them were liars
but some of them told truth
Bob Dylan was just a kid
trying to get away from his own life

Bob Dylan was just a poet
trying to live a life like you and me
He wanted to be recognized
still he wanted to be free
Don’t call him a protest singer
don’t call him a star
All he really wanted was
to sing the blues and play guitar
Bob Dylan was just a poet
trying to life a life like you and me

Bob Dylan is just a spirit
tryin’ to find a way to get back home
His soul set free ‘cross time & space
into the great unknown
But don’t call him a Christian
and don’t call him a Jew
It ain’t about religion
it’s about the things we do
Bob Dylan is a child of god
tryin’ to find a way to get back home

Chilling! I love it when you just pickup your guitar and jam. Great storytelling ole' buddy.

Saved!
