My wild love is crazy

She screams like a bird

She moans like a cat

When she wants to be heard

My wild love went ridin’

She rode for an hour

She rode and she rested

And then she rode on

July 13, 1968

The song was originally a poem written by singer Jim Morrison about the street in the Laurel Canyon section of Los Angeles, California where he lived with his girlfriend Pamela Courson. Their address was 8021 Rothdell Trail. Morrison and Courson referred to Rothdell Trail as “Love Street” because they would sit on the balcony and watch countless hippies walk by.
