Lyrics Jackson Browne

Giving That Heaven Away

Pretty Nova, one year over

Legal age of consent

In the flower of sweet youth our

Days of heaven were spent

Giving that heaven away

Giving that heaven away

Rock 'n' Roll, and freeing your soul, and

Giving that heaven away

I'm looking 'round for that sixties sound -

Those days are gone

And all us acid dropping, world stopping, be bopping

Freaks are just hanging on

Little Nova, did you have to show the

Whole world how to rebel?

Standing there with your long brown hair

Like a cool breeze blowing through hell

Giving that heaven away

Giving that heaven away

Back in those days we all were so crazy

Giving that heaven away

Giving that heaven away

Giving that heaven away

Ooooooowh

Giving that heaven away

Seems like the whole world's at a fire sale

But I might be wrong

With all the home shopping,

Bling bling and hip hopping

Maybe it's just going strong

But hey now Nova, we both know the

Ones who're always making it pay

Well any fool can sell a jewel

But an angel will give it away

Giving that heaven away

Giving that heaven away

Oooooooh I'm going go down singing

And giving that heaven away

Where did the day go in that Winnebago?

The two of us hot as a stove

Fools for pleasure, digging for treasure

Down in that Black Oak grove

Giving that heaven away

Giving that heaven away

Oooooooh

Giving that heaven away
