Aimless Charlie

I hitch-hiked from the west coast My friends said New York was so gorgeous in the spring It feels so good to be here, in the streets I'm here to sing I started out this journey With a friend of mine who said "Let's go out for a drive" He was running from his troubles I felt great just to be alive
So we drove on till the sunrise Two-hundred miles outside of Santa Fe we stopped To gaze upon the mesas and climb up on the rocks
This has always been my dream Aimless - travel so serene Sun burns out the darkest fears Drying all the falling tears Don't know where I'll be tonight But I'll be gone before daylight I have blossomed from a seed And now into the wind I'm freed Drawn into the moonlit sky Born to live and never die
Left my friend in New Orleans The car broke down and I just couldn't stay around So I found myself a highway and a trucker northward bound Left my wife and kid in Oakland I love my baby and I miss my Kaity-Ann I guess maybe I should call her But she wouldn't understand…
