Song information

Album: The Next Voice You Hear: The Best Of Jackson Browne

Lyrics

Gather your deeds and your possessions
Whatever certainty you've known
Forget your heroes
You don't really need those lasting lessons

Stand in the open;
The next voice you hear will be your own

But, alright, they knew how they could hurt you
And you let them cut you to the bone
But god forbid
You allow them to rid you of your virtue!

Forget their laughter;
The next voice you hear will be your own

The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear will be your own

Throw down your truth and check your weapons
Don't look to see if you're alone
Just stand your ground
And don't turn around -- whatever happens
Don't ask directions;
The next voice you hear will be your own

The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear..
The next voice you hear will be your own
