Taylor, James - Jump Up Behind Me Lyrics
This land is a lovely green, it reminds me of my own home.
Such children I've seldom seen, even in my own home.
The sky is so bright and clean, just like my home.
Kind people as have ever been, won't you take me back to my own home?
Old Dan can bear us both, jump up behind me.
We follow this road till we reach the sea, jump up behind me.
We'll catch the tide and set Dan free, jump up behind me.
I've been in this world awhile and I've seen a lot of country.
Many days and many miles, all various and sundry.
I've had my way and I've had my fun and I've had my chance to run free,
burning hot beneath the sun, freezing cold and wintry.
Jump up behind me, my love, jump up behind me.
We follow this road till we reach the sea, jump up behind me.
We'll catch the tide and set old Dan free, jump up behind me.
I know now, only one thing matters in these day.
One thing, true love, love and love alone, true love.
Came out of a dream last night, thought I was back in my old home.
Mom and Dad were both still alive and the babies not yet born, no.
Felt like a festival and it felt like a Christmas morning,
felt the darkness fall away even as the world was turning on,
I mean even as the world was turning on. La la la la la, la la la la. I say.
Jump up behind me, my love, jump up behind me.
Follow the road to the western sea...

Taylor, James Jump Up Behind Me Comments
I'd be honored if some James Taylor & Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of NEVER DIE YOUNG and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to these 2 masters of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and respect to the legends.
Ho scoperto da poco James Taylor :
Bravissimo e bellissimo saund.

Delightful to the soul; great song and a very talented singer/songwriter.
Woderful music.
JT, BABY JAMES... I LOVE THIS MANS MUSIC, YES I DO!
I owned a horse in 1970, at the w4 ranch. they were going to put him down. He wouldn't let any one ride him. I paid $250.00 4 his ass, $40.00 a month to keep him. His coat was a rust red, a white blaze on his forehead! I named him Star. WE found a happy medium, but had fearful respect of each other. Our SPIRIT'S were KINDRED, his & mine! We enjoyed many day's, many day's...!
I had a few of them "JUMP UP BEHIND ME" too JT! I know how U feel, & the feeling was good...! I'm glad to say, 'I REMEMBER THE TIME"!!!
As bright and knowing as he's always been, a national treasure. Period.
World treasure :)
@pabloalarroyo One of the few artists that sounds the same live as he does on his albums, I've seen him many times and JT is conversive and funny and as enjoyable as you could possibly hope for. Never disappoints, just solid music.
+Giuseppe Ferrazza I agree. He's a great live performer. Great musicians in the band, terrific singers doing back-up vocals, and JT himself--wonderful voice and a performer who likes to engage the audience between songs with wit and charm. Every fan of his music should see him live.
@PerthTowne Agree 100%!
World treasure !
I know now ....... that I truly love U Mr. James Taylor ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I know now ....... that I truly love U Mr. James Taylor ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Well that's pretty obvious, isn't it?
The last verse of this song is one of my favorite James Taylor verses ever. Probably my number one favorite. Great great song.
This song brings back so many memories...I love James Taylor and all of his music!
Music japanes
This is one of my BEST songs ever!
I love when he sings "I know now... one thing only matters in these days.... one thing... true love"
Has anyone ever written more tender songs?
...and the background vocalist - STING!
@HJHazeltine1 That's what brought me here too...
Charlie's show is like having the most AMAZING dinner guests 5 nights a week...
@DAyomandude I'd never heard this song...& I LOVE JT... Then I read you actually heard it on the RADIO! How can that be?!...That's NEVER happened in California with this song...let alone some of his 'famous' ones! Then I realized... 35 years ago I lived in Drexel Hill (Philadelphia suburb) for 3 years...Where WMMR & WYSP existed... Lucky you (musically)... Weather-wise, lucky me. ;-)
PS: I hope the cancer is history...
Just saw James on Charlie Rose, he said he wrote this song about the time his father dropped what he was doing to rescue him from his drug addiction.
Great song :) ... Im 16 and im not afraid to admit i like music like this ! :)!
Personal opinion: if JT had written a song for The Lion King, this would have come out.
@LittleMissNadia1 That is absolutely beautiful.... such a wonderful picture you paint. Thank you... you made my day.
Tassy's Pier, junior year at Savannah State, peace of mind, sun rising, sun setting, walking the campus grounds when no one is out but me, God running his fingers through the leaves on the trees, Tybee Island, happy...just because.
Oh wow , I haven't heard this since I was 10 years old back in 1998. My mom bought this album and I played this song all the time!
Such a hap' happy song!
Holy shit this song is amazing. I actually can not believe my ears as Ilisten to this.

Simply Wonderul!
Memories! Memories! Memories! :D when I was younger and I used to travel with this song a lot, one of my all-time favorite songs all the way!!
And this track was awesome coz it has Sting singing back up :))
