I am headin, out to California With my moto-cycle in tow I got my 6 string riding riding shotgun And Lord I'm grinnin' from head to toe Yea a old men asked me "Where ya' headin' with that load" I said "I wish I could tell ya' brotha' but the truth is I don't know" I'm looking for love, I'm lookin for life I'm looking for that bigger meaning to break the glass ceiling Oh I I'm lookin for love, I'm lookin for life, I'm lookin for that new sensation, that old libation a new occupation called feelin alright I am chasin' that dream of old Bob Dylan Im ridin' on the wave of pure ambition That bird of youth, will soon fly away and pass me by I'ma breath in salty ocean air I'ma reach all the way to the sky I don't care, Anythings better than before I don't care I cannot live a lie I know that I'll find out the secret I am lookin for If I turned around now part of me will die Cuz I'd rather risk it trying to be the man I was built to be cuz I aint gon die workin for the man in some God damned factory!!
