CRAZY LIFE

I sold my car
I needed the dough
I worked a lot of jobs
While living back with my folks

But I'm going back west
I've saved up enough I think
I'll take the good with the bad
Whatever will be will be

I know a guy in Rohnert Park
Says he'll meet me in Reno
In his old VW Bus
We'll head over to the coast

And follow the shoreline north
Seeing new things all around
I'm even keeping a journal
Ross Friedman would be proud

I'll start right where I begin
And I'll finish right there at the end
I'll be strong and I'll be naive
I'm so young
And I need to be free to believe there's relief
In this crazy life

When you follow your instincts
You trust in the unknown
I got dropped off in Eugene
Now I'm completely alone

So I discovered this town
With my guitar on my back
I slept in the cemetery behind campus
Where I felt safest when it got dark

Took a bus to Cougar Hot Springs
To get back to the land for a spell
I ran around with no clothes on
Just to feel how it felt

Oregon you helped me
You reassured me that I belong
Your summer sunshine it warmed me
But now it's time to move on

I'll start right where I begin
And I'll follow this path to the end
I'll be trusting and I'll be naive
I'm so young
And I need to be free to believe there's some relief
In this crazy life

My hair is getting longer
And my clothes are all worn
I got these here two thumbs
To help get me down the road

Catching rides with kind strangers
That I'll never see again
Waking up on the side of the road
Feeling all zen

Thumbing it down to Arizona
I heard there's a gathering going on
A bunch of rainbow hippies
Out in the woods singing songs

I found myself in Flagstaff
With no money and in a crunch
I'm gonna find a job and a warm bed
And just stay through the winter months

I'll start right where I begin
And I'll flutter my way to the end
I'll be peaceful and I'll be naive
I'm so young
And I need to be free to believe there's some kind of relief
In this crazy life
