Suzanne Vega First day out Lyrics:
Here I am at last, I've just jumped off the train
I'm about to start my life as a wanderer in the
rain I know so many people would give anything to
be in my shoes Well, that's all right for them to
say, but my shoes are soaked right through.

I don't know what made me want to come all the way
out here I guess when I was dreaming, my skies
were always clear Now I'm here in a meadow with
the rain streaming through my hair I guess this is
what you call traveling freely, living without
care.

Here I am, all by myself, and I'll admit I'm
scared All I've got is my guitar and a couple of
dollars to spare And I know even that's not gonna
last me long.

I suppose I could pick myself up and carry myself
back home But after what I put my folks through, I
think I better stay alone. Anyhow, five years of
aching are packed behind this plan Since I was
ten, I've wanted to get out of the city and live
out on the land.

My parents thought I was crazy and I think now
maybe they're right But I can still feel the
freedom in following the eagle's flight. I just
had to come and see what all the songs were about
My hope is returning quickly and I don't think
there's any doubt

That I'd better start moving if I want to get
somewhere I'll go on to the next town and see what
I find there And stay a while until I go traveling
on.

(July 3, 1975)
