[00:00.20]California - Joni Mitchell
[00:09.08]
[00:10.08]
[00:11.08]Sitting in a park in Paris, France
[00:13.97]Reading the news and it sure looks bad
[00:16.39]They won't give peace a chance
[00:18.23]That was just a dream some of us had
[00:20.63][00:29.87][00:40.67][00:51.09][01:15.89][01:32.49][01:41.97][02:01.07][02:47.61][02:55.11][03:04.92][03:09.64][03:22.88][03:31.63][03:36.68]
[00:21.19]Still a lot of lands to see
[00:23.80]But I wouldn't want to stay here
[00:25.58]It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
[00:30.94]Oh, but California
[00:33.20][00:44.04][02:31.32][02:41.72]California I'm coming home
[00:38.75]I'm going to see the folks I dig
[00:41.21]I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
[00:54.36]I met a redneck on a Grecian isle
[00:57.07]Who did the goat dance very well
[00:59.59]He gave me back my smile
[01:01.60]But he kept my camera to sell
[01:03.62]Oh the rogue, the red red rogue
[01:06.16]He cooked good omelettes and stews
[01:07.70]And I might have stayed on with him there
[01:09.84]But my heart cried out for you, California
[01:16.41]Oh California I'm coming home
[01:21.65]Oh make me feel good rock'n roll band
[01:24.32]I'm your biggest fan
[01:25.87]California, I'm coming home
[01:35.90][02:51.00]Oh it gets so lonely
[01:40.79][02:55.80]When you're walking
[01:42.56][02:57.63]And the streets are full of strangers
[01:45.61][03:00.79]All the news of home you read
[01:50.27][01:55.00]Just gives you the blues
[02:09.22]So I bought me a ticket
[02:10.47]I caught a plane to Spain
[02:12.32]Went to a party down a red dirt road
[02:14.88]There were lots of pretty people there
[02:16.47]Reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue
[02:19.86]They said, "How long can you hang around?"
[02:21.82]I said "a week, maybe two,
[02:23.79]Just until my skin turns brown
[02:25.91]Then I'm going home to California"
[02:36.07]Oh will you take me as I am
[02:39.54]Strung out on another man
[03:05.64]More about the war
[03:07.36]And the bloody changes
[03:10.27]Oh will you take me as I am?
[03:14.25][03:18.44]Will you take me as I am?
[03:16.72]Will you?
[03:28.05][03:32.71]take me as I am?
