- “Mama, You Been on My Mind” (Another Side of Bob Dylan outtake, recorded 1964) When you wake up in the mornin’, baby, look inside your mirror. You know I won’t be next to you, you know I won’t be near.
- “It’s Alright Ma, (I’m Only Bleeding)” (Bringing It All Back Home, 1965) Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn. Suicide remarks are torn. From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn.
- “She Belongs to Me” (Bringing It All Back Home, 1965) She wears an Egyptian ring. That sparkles before she speaks. She’s a hypnotist collector. You are a walking antique.
- “Like a Rolling Stone” (Highway 61 Revisited, 1965) You say you never compromise. With the mystery tramp, but now you realize. He’s not selling any alibis. As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes.

Not Dylan’s first hit, but the song that defined him as the voice of a generation, this song includes the iconic chorus (and song title name), as well as the epic socially relevant today stanza: Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don’t criticize What you can’t understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old ro...
The song that put Dylan on the map, “Blowing in the Wind” is about the inescapably numinous quality of the truth. Like the song above, it’s always moving, shifting, changing. But always there. Sings Dylan, Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? And how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, an...
A more dream-like stream-of-consciousness song, this might be one of the first rap songs of all time. Dylan provides the striking beat with his acoustic and sings, Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child’s balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in tr...
A song that not only talks about change—Dylan’s favorite topic—but one that portendsit with a bit of doom and gloom, “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” is a warning. Sings Dylan, And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’ Heard the roar of a wave that could...
Oh, relief. Life is hard. There’s pain, suffering, debt, anger, sadness. The list goes on. But relief! What a wonder. Dylan hits the point home here in this classic, singing, Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns C...
A song often covered, this might sum up Dylan’s acoustic prowess in the 1960s. While he’d already gone electric, this album palliated fans who yearned for his poetry over the wooden instrument. Sings Dylan, as if in a dreamy fantasy, Though I know that evening’s empire has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand, but ...
“Tangled up in Blue” is a song of fate and love, which is described as being intertwined and tortuous. Sings Dylan with a strange forlorn joy in his heart, lamenting, But all the while I was alone The past was close behind I seen a lot of women But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew Tangled up in blue
The breakup song to end all breakup songs. Dylan is leaving. The love didn’t work. No use in trying to get anything of that time back, he tells, singing, It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal Like you never did before It ain’t no use in callin’ out my name, gal I can’t hear you anymore I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’ all the way down the road ...
If the song above didn’t satisfy your needs for a breakup song, this one surely will. It’s all about a quest completely made up to distract someone who’d just lost his love. The singer’s adventure partner dies along the way and Dylan sings, I picked up his body and I dragged him inside Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover I said a qu...
Another pseudo-rap, this song has more lyrics than Dylan’s got hairs on his head. It’s also one of the first great music videos. Sings the boisterous Bard, Johnny’s in the basement, mixin’ up the medicine I’m on the pavement, thinkin’ about the government The man in a trench coat, badge out, laid off Says he’s got a bad cough, wants to get it paid ...
