Bob Dylan8 quotes
For the loser now will be later to win,
For the times they are a-changin'. — Bob Dylan · 1964Come mothers and fathers,
Throughout the land
And don't criticize

With no direction home

And the first one now will later be last

Painted wings and giants' rings
Make way for other toys. — Peter, Paul and Mary · 1963Woody Guthrie1 quote

From California to the New York Island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me. — Woody Guthrie · 1945
