If I were Dylan I'd like to tell a story
Tell a story of style
I'd have seen half a century
Behind a guitar.
If I were Dylan I'd surely be
Older and charmer
Even my whitening hair
Would be a legend.
If I were Dylan I'd always be alive
If I were Dylan I'd not apologize
If I were Dylan, as voice and sound
I'd still go around.
I'd have a long story to tell
A hard long story
Of money, women, disillusion
A secret longing to go far away
To walk on distant paths
Never trodden before
If I were Dylan I'd not speak any more
I'd not speak any more.
If I were Dylan you'd be sick
You'd be happy or simply surprised
My dearest companion of a whole life
Not completely realized
Beyond Dylan, beyond his sound
Beyond his story of a life
You'd be sick or you'd be surprised
I'd still go around.
I'd still go around.
If I were Dylan I'd like to tell a story
Tell a story of style
I'd have seen half a century
Behind a guitar.
I miss my old days, I miss
And secretly I go back
With the students and their bags
Secretly I go back.
Secretly I go back.
