CALIFORNIA
Joni Mitchell
Sitting in a park in Paris, France Reading the news and it sure looks bad They won't give peace a chance That was just a dream some of us had Still a lot of lands to see But I wouldn't want to stay here It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here Oh, but California California I'm coming home I'm going to see the folks I dig I'll even kiss a Sunset pig California I'm coming home I met a redneck on a Grecian isle Who did the goat dance very well He gave me back my smile But he kept my camera to sell Oh the rogue, the red red rogue He cooked good omelettes and stews And I might have stayed on with him there But my heart cried out for you, California Oh California I'm coming home Oh make me feel good rock'n roll band I'm your biggest fan California, I'm coming home CHORUS: Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers All the news of home you read Just gives you the blues Just gives you the blues So I bought me a ticket I caught a plane to Spain Went to a party down a red dirt road There were lots of pretty people there Reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue They said, "How long can you hang around?" I said "a week, maybe two, Just until my skin turns brown Then I'm going home to California" California I'm coming home Oh will you take me as I am Strung out on another man California I'm coming home CHORUS: Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers All the news of home you read More about the war And the bloody changes Oh will you take me as l am? Will you take me as l am? Will you?1971 70s :: mayr - soundtrack of my lif acoustic Awesome baby baby baby beautiful best ever song no really best songs ever California Canadian chilled vocal christmas 2005 cities classic rock cool chicks countries divine dr small jukebox Dreamy driving with the windows down epic eriks favoriter favorite ever favorites favourites-streamable female female vocalist female vocalists folk folk me folk-jazz folk-rock france fullmoonmusic geography great rock albums greatest song ever greatfolk happy happy joy joy happy-sad songs hip home homesick I am crazy i am crazy and youre not wrong i feel free joni mitchell just lovely killer lyrics L.A. soft rock Late Night Drive Love love songs by crazy people Mellow memories mope morning no blood for oil nobloodforoil nostalgia nothing but lurve oh oil spill olspur olspur california radio omg so awesome Outdoor school paris Perfect Pop places plymouth pretty pretty lyrics road trip rock san diego sing along sing-along singer songwriter singer-songwriter smooth pickin Sommer soundtrack for the summer of 2 states Stone ME summer summertime sunny day sweet and nice too pure travel
