|
we were never caught
|
|
|
|
we partied the southwest, smoked it from L.A. to El Dorado
|
|
worked odd jobs between delusions of escape
|
|
drunk on the admonitions of parents, parsons & professors
|
|
driving faster than the road or law allowed.
|
|
our high-pitched laughter was young, heartless & disrespected
|
|
authority. we could be heard for miles in the night
|
|
|
|
the Grand Canyon of a new manhood.
|
|
womanhood discovered
|
|
like the first sighting of Mount Wilson
|
|
|
|
we rebelled against the southwestern wind
|
|
|
|
we got so naturally ripped, we sprouted wings,
|
|
crashed parties on the moon, and howled at the earth
|
|
|
|
we lived off love. It was all we had to eat
|
|
|
|
when you split you took all the wisdom
|
|
and left me the worry
|
|
|
