Easy Rider

You know, I smoked a lot of grass

Oh, Lord, I popped a lot of pills

But I've never touched nothin'

That my spirit could kill

You know, I've seen

a lot of people walkin' 'round

With tombstones in their eyes

But the pusher don't care

If you live or if you die

God damn

The pusher

God damn

Hey, hey, I say the pusher

I said, God damn

God damn the pusher man

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin'

Gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of the guns at once and

Explode into space

I like smoke and lightnin'

Heavy metal thunder

Racin' with the wind

And the feelin' that I'm under

Yeah, darlin'

Gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of the guns at once and

Explode into space

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild

We can climb so high

And never wanna die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

Hey, you got a room?

Hey, man!

You got a room?

You a**hole!

I'm goin' down to Mardi Gras

I'm gonna get me a Mardi Gras queen

Oh, man.

Wow, Mardi Gras, man.

That's gonna be the weirdest, man.

You know what we ought to do

first thing, man?

Go and get us a groovy dinner.

Break out some of that cash, man.

Out here in the wilderness, fighting

Indians and cowboys on every side.

What's the matter?

You zonked? You really zoaned?

No, I'm just kinda tired, man.

Oh, man, you're pulling inside.

You're getting

a little distance tonight.

You're getting

a little distance, baby.

Yeah.

Well, I'm just

getting my thing together.

Yeah, right.

Come on.

It's check-out time.

Hey. Billy.

Oh, man, don't do that.

Howdy.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to fix my flat,

if you don't mind.

No, I don't mind.

Just get in the barn.

You'll find the tools you'll need.

Whoa, baby.

Whoa, honey.

Turn that thing off.

You're making my horse skittish.

That sure is

a good-looking machine.

Yeah.

There you go.

You fellas can sit down here.

Would you mind

taking off your hat?

We thank Thee, O Lord,

for these, Thy gifts...

received from Thy bounty...

in the name of Thy only begotten son,

Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Where you fellas from?

L.A.

Los Angeles.

Los Angeles.

Is that a fact?

When I was young...

I was headed for California, but...

Well, you know how it is.

Well, you sure got

a nice spread here.

Sure got a lot of 'em.

My wife is Catholic, you know.

Honey, could we have

some more coffee?

No, I mean it.

You've got a nice place.

It's not every man

that can live off the land.

You do your own thing in your own time.

You should be proud.

Well, I'd rather go and journey

Where the diamond crescent's glowing

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 the form reflected

In its 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 dive beneath

The white cascading waters

She may beg, she may plead

She may argue with her logic

And mention all the things I learned

That really have no value

In the end she will surely know

I wasn't born to follow

Hey, man, what are you doing?

I gotta talk to you, man.

Everything we ever dreamed of

is in that teardrop gas tank...

and you got a stranger over there

pouring gasoline all over it.

All he's gotta do is look into it

and he can see that...

He won't know what it is, man.

Don't worry, Billy.

Everything's all right.

All right, all right.

I don't know, man.

I do.

Everything's fine, Billy.

- Well...

- That's all taken care of.

I like that.

I pulled in to Nazareth

Was feelin' 'bout half past dead

I just need some place

Where I can lay my head

Hey, mister, can you tell me

Where a man might find a bed

He just grinned and shook my hand

"No" was all he said

Take a load off, Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off, Fanny

And

You put the load right on me

I picked up my bag

I went lookin' for a place to hide

Then I saw old Carmen

and the devil

Walkin' side by side

I said, Hey, Carmen

Come on, let's go downtown

She said, I gotta go

But my friend can stick around

Take a load off, Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off, Fanny

And

You put the load right on me

Yeah

Take a load off, Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off, Fanny

And

You put the load right on me

- How much further we gotta go, man?

- I don't know.

Not much further.

That's what you said this morning.

I sometimes say it all day.

Really?

You say it all day, huh?

We don't have much longer.

We'll be there soon.

We gotta get to Mardi Gras, man.

We're going to Mardi Gras.

Little heart is set on that, huh?

We got a week.

That's a week away, man.

It's a long way to Mardi Gras, baby.

It won't take us a week

to get to New Orleans.

Wow.

I think I'm gonna crash.

I think you have crashed, man.

I keep seeing things

jumping all over the place.

- Really?

- Yeah, look.

- What is it?

- It's a moth.

- A what?

- Moth.

Bug.

It's a weird place, man.

Oh, man.

That smoke's getting to me.

But I notice you're not moving.

Where you from, man?

Can I have a light?

Where you from, man?

Hard to say.

"Hard to say"?

Where you from, man?

It's hard to say because

it's a very long word, you know.

I just wanna know

where you're from, man.

A city.

What city?

Doesn't make any difference what city.

All cities are alike.

That's why I'm out here now.

Why you're out here now?

Why?

'Cause I'm a long way from the city,

and that's where I wanna be right now.

They know you in this place?

This place we're coming to?

Or the place we're at now?

This place.

You're right on top of 'em.

- I'm right on top of 'em?

- Yeah.

The people this place belongs to

are buried right under you.

You could be a trifle polite.

"A trifle polite"?

A small thing to ask.

You ever want to be somebody else?

I'd like to try Porky Pig.

I never wanted to be anybody else.

You can't hit me!

I'm invisible! I'm invisible!

Hey, Sarah.

How's it going?

Rudolph, what are you eating?

- Thanks for the stuff you brought.

- How's it going?

We just can't take any more strangers.

Just too many people dropping in.

I'm not talking about you

and your friends... you know that.

The week before, Susan dropped in

with 12 people from Easter City.

She wanted to take

ten pounds of rice with her.

Naturally we had to say no...

so she gets all uptight, breaks out

some hash and won't give us any.

That's not all. The next morning

they couldn't get their bus started.

Sarah, I bet you haven't had anybody

like me around to rap to, have you?

I don't have to tell you

how it is, Sarah.

I love you,

and I want you to rap.

- Oh, God, I want you to rap, rap, rap.
