Joni Mitchell - California

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
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
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 Will you
take me as l am
Will you take me as l am
