I wake up and know thatThis is the day I’m leaving

I’m going alone with no mapI need room I need space

Have to try something thatHasn’t been done before

I want to go to placesWhere I don’t know what its like

Listen, I’m hungryThirsty for surprisesReady for experience

Have to get what I need right now

I’m by the road hitchhikingAnd a car has stopped

As I climb in to itI’m struck with hot joy
