"Going to California" Spend my days with a woman unkind Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine Made up my mind, make a new start Going to California with an aching in my heart Someone told me there's a girl out there With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair Took my chances on a big jet plane Never let 'em tell you that they're all all the same Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake As the children of the sun began to awake, watch out Seems that the wrath of the Gods Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow I think I might be sinking Throw me a line if I reach it in time I'll meet you up there where the path Runs straight and high To find a queen without a king They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la la la la Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems, mmm huh-uh
She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She can take the dark out of the nighttime And paint the daytime black. You will start out standing Proud to steal her anything she sees. You will start out standing Proud to steal her anything she sees. But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole Down upon your knees. She never stumbles, She's got no place to fall. She never stumbles, She's got no place to fall. She's nobody's child, The Law can't touch her at all. She wears an Egyptian ring That sparkles before she speaks. She wears an Egyptian ring That sparkles before she speaks. She's a hypnotist collector, You are a walking antique. Bow down to her on Sunday, Salute her when her birthday comes. Bow down to her on Sunday, Salute her when her birthday comes. For Halloween give her a trumpet And for Christmas, buy her a drum
mine's definetly Mexicali Blues / Grateful Dead ... if this song isn't my life, i don't know what is. Laid back in an old saloon, with a peso in my hand, Watchin’ flies and children on the street, And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile, There’s a little boy who wants to shine my feet. And it’s three days ride from bakersfield and I don’t know why I came. I guess I came to keep from payin’ dues. So instead I’ve got a bottle and a girl who’s just fourteen, And a damn good case of the mexicali blues. yeh! Is there anything a man don’t stand to lose, When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze, Cause thinkin’ and drinkin’ are all I have today. She said her name was billy jean and she was fresh in town. I didn’t know a stage line ran from hell. She had raven hair, a ruffled dress, a necklace made of gold, All the french perfume you’d care to smell. She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear, Go on, my friend, do anything you choose. Now I’m payin’ for those happy hours I spent there in her arms, With a lifetime’s worth of the mexicali blues. Is there anything a man don’t stand to lose, When the devil wants to take it all away? Cherish well your thoughts, and keep a tight grip on your booze Cause thinkin’ and drinkin’ are all I have today. And then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law. Billy jean was waitin’ when he came. She told me he would take her, if I didn’t use my gun, I’d have no one but myself to blame. I went down to those dusty streets, blood was on my mind. I guess that stranger hadn’t heard the news Cause I shot first and killed him, lord, he didn’t even draw And he made me trade the gallows for the mexicali blues. Is there anything a man don’t stand to lose When he lets a woman hold him in her hands? He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark Just ridin’ and runnin’ across those desert sands.
I'm not from here I just live here grew up somewhere far away come here thinking I'd never stay long I'd be going back soon someday it's been a few years since I got here seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go crowds assemble, they hang out awhile then they melt away like an early snow onto some bright future somewhere down the road to points unknown sending postcards when they get there wherever it is they think they're goin' I'm not from here I just live here can't see that it matters much I read the papers and I watch the nightly news who's to say I'm out of touch nobody's from here most of us just live here locals long since moved away sold the played-out farms for parking lots went off looking for a better way onto some bright future somewhere better times on down the road wonder if they ever got there wherever it was they thought they'd go hit my home town a couple years back hard to say just how it felt but it looked like so many towns I might've been through on my way to somewhere else I'm not from here but people tell me it's not like it used to be they say I should have been here back about ten years before it got ruined by folks like me we can't help it we just keep moving it's been that way since long ago since the stone age, chasing the great herds we mostly go where we have to go onto some bright future somewhere down the road to points unknown sending post cards when we get there wherever it is we think we'll go
If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be travelling on, now, There's too many places I haven't seen And if I stayed here with you, now Things just wouldn't be the same Well I'm as free as a bird now, And a bird you can not change. And a bird you can not change. And a bird you can not change. Lord knows I can't change Bye, bye, its been a sweet love. And though this feeling I can't change. Please don't take it badly, The Lord knows I'm to blame. And, if I stayed here with you now Things just wouldn't be the same. For I'm as free as a bird now, And this bird you'll never change. And the bird you can not change. And the bird you can not change. Lord knows, I can't change. Lord help me, I can't change.

Yeah, man! Freebird rules. If I had to pick a theme song, as I already did it'd be "More than a Feeling" and "Bad Company". These songs just express me.
For sure. I thought it was appropriate. Because, when I fell in love with my ex-fiance.... I felt time go backwards, sorta like the video.... I'm messed, dont mind me
for me,now, it's this-liigua.... that's a finnish song from Värttinä, a group with amazing women chants.. so there's also a translation,it isn't exact,but the basic is there Tahtoisin tasaista miestä, liigua liigua miestä mielehistä kuletella komiaista, liigua liigua komiammanlaista Vaan en löydä lemminkäistä, liigua liigua lemmenlohdullista komiaista kulkemahan, liigua liigua viereen kulkemahan Tahtoisin tasaista miestä, liigua liigua miestä mielehistä kuletella komiaista, liigua liigua komiammanlaista Tuomikosta tuomen, tuomen torkian Varvikosta virven vihannomman Vaan en löydä lemminkäistä, liigua liigua lemmenlohdullista komiaista kulkemahan, liigua liigua viereen kulkemahan Sain suolta suovariksen, aijalta ajoharakan lepän pökkelön lehosta, haapakannon kankahalta Tervaskannon tien kylestä, katajaisen kuusikosta pihkapölkyn pellon päältä, käpykämmin kiven alta Suostuin suolavaivasehen, liigua liigua suolavaivasehen rajakenkähän rakastuin, liigua liigua rangaton rakastuin En kätehen saanut kultaa kulkemaan En kätehen saanut kulkemahan Mitähän minäkin mietin, liigua liigua mietin mielessäni ketä kurja toivottelin, liigua liigua toivoin tosissani En kätehen saanut kultaa kulkemaan En kätehen saanut kulkemahan I want a man to be my match, a man who pleases me. I want him to be handsome; he needs to have the looks to walk beside me. But I can't find a lover, can't be satisfied. I found a bird-cherry twig and a sappy green sprig, but I can't find a lover, can't be satisfied. I met a crow in the marshes, a magpie on the fence; I found a block of alder and an aspen log, I found a pine stump by the road and a juniper in the woods; I found a fencepost where the field ends and a cone beneath a stone. But the one I accepted was a destitute fellow, and the one I fell in love with walked in worn-out shoes. Now, whatever could I have been thinking, who was I really wishing for, who did I hope would come? I never found a sweetheart to walk hand in hand with me.
