I Am Fucking Crazy, But I Am Free

"I was in the winter of my life

And the men that I met along the road were my only summer

At night, I fell asleep with visions of myself

Dancing and laughing and crying with tem

Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour

And my memories of them were the only things that Substained me and my only real happy times

I was a singer, not very popular one

Who one had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet

But upon an unfortunate series of events

Saw those dreams

And divided like a millions stars in the night sky

That I wished on over and over again - sparkling and broken

But I didn't really mind because I knew

That it takes getting everything

You ever wanted and then losing it

To know what true freedom is

When the people I used to know

Found out what I had been doing

How I had been living - they asked me why

But there's no use in talking to people who have a home

They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people

For home to be wherever you lie your head

I was always an unusual girl

My mother told me I had a chameleon soul

No morall compass positioning due north, no fixed personality

Just an inner indecisiveness

That was as wide and as wavering as the ocean

And if I said that I didn't plan

For it to turn out this was, I'd be lying

Because I was born to be the other woman

I belong to no one - who belonged to everyone

Who had nothing, who wanted everything

With a fire for every experience

And an obsession for freedom

That terrified me to the point I couldn't even talk about

And pushed me to a nomatic point

Of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. "

I've been out on that open road

You can be my full time, daddy

White and gold

Singing blues has been getting old

You can be my full time, baby

Hot or cold

Don't break me down

I've been traveling too long

I've been trying too hard

With one pretty song

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone in the night

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

So, I just ride, I just ride

I just ride, I just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard

That's the way my father made his life an art

Drink all day and we talk 'til dark

That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark

Don't leave me now

Don't say goodbye

Don't turn around

Leave me high and dry

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone in the night

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

I just ride, I just ride

I just ride, I just ride

I'm tired of feeling like I'm f*cking crazy

I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes

I look up to hear myself saying

"Baby, too much I strive, I just ride"

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

I am alone in the night

Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I

I've got a war in my mind

I just ride, I just ride

I just ride, I just ride

"Every night I used to pray that I'd find my people

And finally I did - on the open road

We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain

Nothing we desired anymore

Except to make our lives into a work of art

Live fast. Die young

Be wild, and have fun

I believe in the country America used to be

I believe in the person I want to become

I believe in the freedom of the open road

And my motto is the same as ever

I believe in the kindness of strangers

And when I'm at war with myself - I ride. I just ride

Who are you?

Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies?

Have you created a life for yourself where you're free to experience them?

I have! I am fucking crazy, but I am free! "
