Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
With the light of the morning
They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe
That they've heard their last warning
Standing alone
Each has his own ticket in his hand
And as the evening descends
I sit thinking 'bout everyman
Seems like I've always been looking for some other place
To get it together
Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race
And maybe find something better
But all my fine dreams
Well though out schemes to gain the motherland
Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman
Waiting here for everyman--
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Waiting here for everyman--
Don't ask me if he'll show -- baby I don't know
Make it on your own if you think you can
Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand
Then you're going to need a hand
Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one
Who can give them the answers
And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun
Where sweet childhood still dances
Who'll come along
And hold out that strong and gentle father's hand?
Long ago I heard someone say something 'bout everyman
Waiting here for everyman--
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan
Turn and walk away if you think I am--
But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand
He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout everyman

Jackson Browne, all'anagrafe Clyde Jackson Browne, è un cantautore statunitense nato a Los Angeles nel 1948. Considerato uno dei pilastri della musica folk-rock americana degli anni '70 e '80, Browne ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua scrittura introspettiva e le melodie evocative. La sua carriera musicale è iniziata negli anni '60 come membro di gruppi locali prima di emergere come solista nel 1972 con l'album d'esordio "Jackson Browne". Il suo successo è stato consacrato da album come "For Everyman" (1973), "The Pretender" (1976) e "Running on Empty" (1979), che hanno generato hit come "These Days", "Take It Easy", "Somebody's Baby" e "Running on Empty". Browne è noto per la sua sensibilità poetica, le sue riflessioni sociali e la sua musica spesso introspettiva. Ha collaborato con artisti di spicco come David Lindley, Glenn Frey e Linda Ronstadt. La sua influenza sulla musica americana rimane significativa, ispirando generazioni di cantautori.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
