| I ain’t going to go to work, I ain’t going to go to school
|
| Life is just too complicated, to be somebody’s fool
|
| My side of the mountain, my side of the road
|
| To live on what you need, not on what you own
|
| To go, and make do, to get back to nature
|
| To live, and breathe, to see but not to own
|
| I’m going to camp out, in the trees by the freeway
|
| Misty ice-plant, running water, and plenty of shade
|
| Well first I’ll get me a hammock
|
| Then I’ll get some food
|
| Then I guess I could read or write
|
| I won’t have much to do No more getting up early
|
| Or having to go to bed
|
| I’ll do just what I want to do Whatever comes to my head
|
| To go, and make do, to get back to nature
|
| To live, and breathe, to see but not to own
|
| I’m going to camp out, in the trees by the freeway
|
| Misty ice-plant, running water, and plenty of shade
|
| There’s a few things a modern man begins to miss from the modern world
|
| Like a car, a color TV, a radio and a modern girl
|
| But I’d rather miss all of that than get caught in the rat race trap
|
| It really ain’t so bad learning to live and breathe as a natural man
|
| I ain’t going to go to work, I ain’t going to go to school
|
| Life is just too complicated, to be somebody’s fool
|
| My side of the mountain, my side of the road
|
| To live on what you need, not on what you owe |
