 An Intellectual Country Song About Joan Baez Copyright 2005 by Adam Selzer. All rights reserved, ASCAP
You make me feel the way Bob Dylan must have felt after he first met Joan Completely disregarding how the story ended up with both of them pretty much alone I'm not saying that I'm riding your coattails to fame and glory, no Just that you make me feel like Bob Dylan must have felt after he first met Joan You make me feel like Pip longing for Estella back in the Victorian days And his Great Expectations didn't come out to much, but it's only a book anyway And I'm not saying you're a cold heartless bitch who was raised just to lead men astray Just that you make me feel like Pip longing for Estella back in the Victorian days You make me feel like Rudolpho in the garret, running into Mimi that night With her tiny hand frozen, but beautiful still, looking for a candlelight At the end of the opera, she's dead of consumption, but you're pretty healthy, right? You make me feel like Rudolpho in the garret, running into Mimi that night Pagliacci went out stabbing Love left the Great Gatsby dead Don Quixote only had it easy because Dulcinea was all in his head You make me feel the way Bob Dylan must have felt after he first kissed Joan Completely disregarding how the story ended up with both of them pretty much alone I don't wish to imply that I'm riding your coattails to fame and glory, no Just that you make me feel like Bob Dylan must have felt after he first kissed Joan La commedia e finita!
