The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers(1968)
Wasn't Born to Follow (Carole King/Gerry Goffin) - 2:03

Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing and
Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain and
Wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of

And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jewelled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another

I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And then she'll know the things I learned
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow.

  • Moshpith-I am with you whole heartedly.There is nothing to compare with those times.I was up and running round the country wehn I w as about 15, 1969. The world was a wonderous thing,..until the 90s.It all rolled up and died. Now you cant just pull over and camp for the nite,cant sleep the nite in your car on the way to wherever,nothing.
