So I guess you might say we’re a beat generation.
— Jack Kerouac
long arm, gendarme
my mistake, namaste
backpack bivouac
On the Road with Kerouac
brilliant stars, silent nights
fireflies, northern lights,
mountain streams, fresh air
fall asleep anywhere
small town, take a chance
pig roast, barn dance
allemande left! do-si-do!
spontaneity here we go!
long arm, gendarme
my mistake, namaste
backpack bivouac
On the Road with Kerouac
Beat Zen’s heyday
doing things our own way
nonconformity, anything goes
Kerouac-Ginsburg-Burroughs
shot to pieces, picking skin
Benzedrine, adrenaline
don’t forget the Phenergan
notify our next of kin
long arm, gendarme
my mistake, namaste
backpack bivouac
On the Road with Kerouac
