Alternative Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking



With all the blather about Dylan not playing protest songs in China,
it is good to see and hear the song he kicked of each concert with. In
the context it is hard to imagine being more subversive than praising
God! Bet the Communist state officials just loved that.



Gonna Change My Way of Thinking as performed in Beijing


Change my way of thinking, make myself a different set of rules

We living by the golden rule, whoever got the gold rules

The sun is shining, ain’t but one train on this track

I’m all dressed up, I’m going to the county dance

Every day you got to pray for guidance
Every day you got to give yourself a chance

Storms are on the ocean, storms on the mountain, too
