To Be A Man Requires That You

I Went To My Room And Packed A Change Of Clothes, Got My Banjo, And Started Walking Down The Road. Soon I Found Myself On The Open Highway Headed East.

I Think My Life Has Been A Long, Slow Process Of Trying To Move Closer And Closer To The Spirit By Moving Closer And Closer To The Heart. The Heart Is What's Important.

I Stopped And Gazed On The Little Dull Man Who Was Being Paid To Be A Teacher Of Teachers. I Turned And Walked To The Door, Slammed It Closed With A Bang, And Broken Glass Crashed To The Floor. There Was Uproar Behind Me In The Class, Which Did Not Interest Me At All.

The Cool Wind Blew In My Face And All At Once I Felt As If I Had Shed Dullness From Myself. Before Me Lay A Long Gray Line With A Black Mark Down The Center. The Birds Were Singing. It Was Spring.

I'm A Law-abiding Man. That Is, If There's Any Law To Abide By.
