Joni Mitchell — Let the Wind Carry Me

[Verse 1] Papa's faith is people Mama she believes in cleaning Papa's faith is in people Mama she's always cleaning Papa brought home the sugar Mama taught me the deeper meaning [Verse 2] She don't like my kick pleat skirt She don't like my eyelids painted green She don't like me staying up late in my high-heeled shoes Living for that rock 'n roll dancing scene Papa says "Leave the girl alone, Mother She's looking like a movie queen" [Verse 3] Mama thinks she spoilt me Papa knows somehow he set me free Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten She blames herself but Papa he blesses me It's a rough road to travel Mama let go now, it's always called for me [Verse 4] Sometimes I get that feeling And I want to settle and raise a child up with somebody I get that strong longing And I want to settle and raise a child up with somebody But it passes like the summer I'm a wild seed again, let the wind carry me
