[G] Some people put you up in a place that's reserved for very few, Bob Dylan and you, [Eb] in writing.
Well, you know, that's a great honor.
[D]
[Ab] Who else would you put up there?
Who else would I put up there?
Well, I [N] wouldn't know.
I think there's been some amazing writers over time.
[Ab] But I [G] don't know, you know.
I'm so [Ab] absent.
I don't really pay much [Eb] attention.
To who you are.
I try not to [F] think about it.
I [Abm] mean, that's why some of these [Eb] questions you're asking me, things that I try not to think about, but I'm trying to [Ab] answer them.
But I, [Gb] you know, [N] [Eb] I mean, I love Bob [F] Dylan.
[Eb] I think he's great.
And in the very beginning, I knew he was great.
And yesterday, [Gb] I was walking down the [G] street and there's this guy in a little [N] Lincoln Navigator or a Continental or something.
I can't remember what it was, one of those black [Gm] cars.
And he's in there and [G] he's blasting like a Rolling Stone and singing at the top of his lungs.
[E] And it's an Afro-American guy.
He's getting married at about 30 years old [Ab] in a suit.
Just rocking.
[G] And I could hear Bob's [Ab] voice.
And I went, this is Bob.
[Bb] This is the essence [G] of his feeling and everything.
I'm in a moment when he was delivering that song.
[D]
And I went, [E] wow, that is so powerful.
You know, you can't keep that.
That comes and goes for you.
You can't strive [Abm] to be that.
There's no [E] way you own it.
No, you don't.
It's a gift.
It keeps on giving and [G] then it goes away and then it comes back.
If you're ready to accept it.
I've heard Bob say that he doesn't know who wrote that.
He doesn't know the guy who wrote those songs [Bb] anymore.
[Eb] Do [Gbm] you feel that way about songs [Ab] you've written?
Well, [G] I understand what he was saying.
I understand the feeling behind it.
I look at it and I go, well, you know, I must have been in a really different place.
But I was.
And that [D] was it.
I wrote those words and I said that and [G] I believed [N] it.
Well, you know, that's a great honor.
