One of the first songs I wrote back in the seventies was called "Do What You Want to Do". Sadly, I can't even remember the song and it was never recorded. It wasn't a very good song but it expressed an attitude I retained all of my life that has always gotten me into trouble, got me fired from many jobs, and left me without many friends, and ultimately led to the author taking his own life. Nevertheless I was compelled by some unknown force to follow it, because I somehow knew that there are few second chances in life and that our paths are not pre-destined. This song, which I wrote a number of years later, after reading Thomas Wolfe's novel with the same title, tries to express, rather presumptuously, in one short song, the feelings that obsessed Wolfe through two very verbose novels, "Look Homeward, Angel" and "You Can't Go Home Again" Do it now, because there are no second chances.
