Well, I slept last night in the open

Down by a redwood tree

Yes, I slept last night in the open

Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free

I don't want to know, I don't want to go,

I don't want to go back into the city.

It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride

Going nowhere.

Well, I slept last night in the open

(It gets so hot in the city)

Down by a redwood tree

(It gets so hot in the city)

Yes, I slept last night in the open

Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free.

I don't want to know, I don't want to go,

I don't want to go back into the city.

It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride

Going nowhere.
