Surprisingly, the world-weary “These Days” was written by Jackson Browne when he was a 16 year old kid. By 1967, the track originally known as “I’ve Been Out Walking” was lent to Nico to record for her debut solo album, Chelsea Girl.
Browne contributed two additional songs to the record and plays...
These Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had
The chance to
[Verse 2]
I stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'd see another
Highway
[Verse 3]
I had a lover
I don't think I risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing
So long
La-la-la-la-la
La-la
[Verse 4]
I'd stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

What did Nico say about "These Days"?
While introducing the song live, Browne recalled recording the song with Nico and Andy Warhol, and his impressions of its later use in The Royal Tennenbaums.
I wrote this when I was about 16… and then several people recorded it before I had the chance to. But I think I did play on the first record...
