Liberty

I think the Grateful Dead were the ultimate expression of America; freedom and the wild west. Garcia’s greatness is objective, it can’t be ignored without losing the best part of life, like Shakespeare. A lot of people don’t get this, and I say, you need more LSD.

Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
Walking to New Orleans, my oh my
Hey, now, bird, wouldn't you rather die, than
Walk this world when you're born to fly?

If I was the sun, I'd look for the shade
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
If I was a river, I'd run uphill
If you call me you know I will
And if you call me, you know I will

Say what I mean and I don't give a damn
I do believe and I am who I am
Hey now mama come take my hand
Whole lotta shakin' all over this land

If I was an eagle, I'd dress like a duck
Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
If I get a notion I'll climb this tree
Or chop it down and you can't stop me

Went to the well but the water was dry
Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
Looked in the bottom and what did I see?
The whole damned world looking back at me

If I was a bottle, I'd spill for love
Sake of mercy I would kill for love
If I was a liar I'd lie for love
Sake of my baby I'd die for love
Sake of my baby I'd die for love

Ooh, freedom
Ooh, liberty
Oh, leave me alone
To find my own way home
