Joni

Drivin' the canyon, knowin' you're up there
Strummin', singin' a sad song on your guitar
Life had already shown you with roses there come thorns
Who knew your melody could fill my broken heart
You kicked off the hinges of that rusty kitchen door
Your piano and words were your weapons and your flowers, oh

You're the clouds above every red dirt road
On the way to California
Icy cold and blue and a case of you
Skating down the river to ya
Joni
Joni

Dreamin' down Sunset in a yellow taxi
Missin' the sidewalk strangers playin' songs for free
Now they're all raised on shortcuts and robbery
There's so many hills to climb just to make a little green

You're the clouds above every red dirt road
On the way to California
Icy cold and blue with a case of you
Skating down the river to ya
Joni, you are the song in me
Because of you, I'm still on my feet

You're the clouds above every red dirt road
On the way to California
Icy cold and blue with a case of you
Skating down the river to ya
Joni
