The song that most defines the first half of the movie is "Wasn't
born to follow" in fact they play it in it's entirety twice in
separate "riding" scenes.
That is an interesting departure for Carole King (co writer) because
she is best known for that bubble gum Brylle building crap that radio
stations played before Barry Gordy and Motown hit the scene. Then she
wrote sappy songs for James Taylor. I am curious what it was before
the Byrds put their spin it. I imagine there were long piano riffs and
some "lama lama dow dow" in the bridge.

Google and you shall receive.

I was right about the piano and the meter of the song but no Brill
building "lama lama dow dow". It was a transitional period for her I
guess.
