Wasn't Born To Follow (Byrds Cover)

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, still delving deep into the past with this one.  Hope you enjoy.   Willie

Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing
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 colours
That no-one knows the name of

And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain
Till I see your 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 on another

Inst

I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg she may plead she may argue with her logic
And then she'll know the thing I learned
That really have no value and in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow
And then she'll know the thing I learned
That really have no value and in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow

yeah baby, what a fabulous cover Willie, that twang is to die for, as are your harmonies.

Always love a good Byrds cover - this one turned out nice & sparkly. Nicely done, Willie.
