Jackson Browne
Giving That Heaven Away
[Verse 1]
Pretty Nova, one year over
Legal age of consent
In the flower of sweet youth our
Days of heaven were spent

[Chorus]
Giving that heaven away
Giving that heaven away
Rock and roll, and freeing your soul, and
Giving that heaven away

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Giving that heaven away
Giving that heaven away
Back in those days we all were so crazy
Giving that heaven away
[Organ Solo]

[Chorus]
Giving that heaven away
Giving that heaven away
Ooh (Ooh)
Giving that heaven away

[Verse 4]
Seems like the whole world's at a fire sale
But I might be wrong
With all this home shopping
Bling bling and hip hopping
Maybe it's just going strong

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
Giving that heaven away
Giving that heaven away
Ooh (Ooh) I'm gonna go down singing
Giving that heaven away
[Verse 6]
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

[Chorus]
Giving that heaven away
Giving that heaven away
Ooh (Ooh), ooh (Ooh), yeah
Giving that heaven away
Ooh (Ooh), ooh (Ooh)
Giving that heaven away
Ooh (Ooh), ooh (Ooh)
Giving that heaven away

[Outro]
Ooh (Ooh), ooh
Giving that heaven away
Giving that heaven away
Ooh, ooh
Giving that heaven away
Giving that heaven away
