I Don't Know Where I Stand - Joni Mitchell

(Mitchell)

Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there,
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair.
Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand,
Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand.

Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new,
All alone in California and talking to you.
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned,
I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand.

Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green,
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream.
All muted and misty, so drowsy now, I'll take what sleep I can,
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand.
I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand.

As you can see by my avatar and signature, I'm quite excited for the release of Martina McBride's upcoming album. Here are the lyrics to the first track:


Wrong, Baby, Wrong

Wrong, baby, wrong, baby, wrong
It ain't the end of the world
Don't you worry, pretty girl
Cause now that he's gone, baby, gone, baby, gone
You've got nothing to lose
Count the minutes if you want to
It won't be long, baby, long, baby, long
Till you find somebody new

Come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then
Then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that's what we all do
But if you think you'll never move on, you're wrong, baby

Cry, baby, cry, baby, cry
Go on and let it all out
I ain't leaving you now
And we can fly, baby, fly, baby, fly
Let's share a bottle of wine
We can laugh about the good times
And you'll know why, baby, why, baby, why
It's gonna be all right

Come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then
Then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that's what we all do
But if you think you'll never move on, you're wrong, baby, wrong

No, you ain't wrong, baby, wrong, baby, wrong
There's nothing wrong with moving on when you know he's good and gone

Come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then
Then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that's what we all do

Hey, come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then
Then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that's what we all do
But if you think you'll never move on, you're wrong, baby, wrong

You're wrong, baby, wrong
Wrong, baby, wrong, baby, wrong

Another track off the new album:


Wild Rebel Rose

Wild rebel Rose
The kids used to tease you
Wild rebel Rose
Everytime they'd see you
In those black turtlenecks in mid-July
Wearing too much makeup around your eyes

Wild rebel Rose
I didn't know you
Wild rebel Rose
So I never told you how I'd watch from the house across the street
When those blue lights came around at least three times a week

It's hard for anyone to understand
Why at sixteen you just up and ran
They didn't know you only knew your Daddy's love like the back of his hand

I heard the shots, saw you hit the door
I snuck in and grabbed that pistol off the floor
Don't you worry, they won't find it, that's for sure

Wild rebel Rose
The kids used to tease you
Wild rebel Rose
Everytime they'd see you
In those black turtlenecks in mid-July
Wearing too much makeup around your eyes

Oh, wild, wild, wild, rebel Rose
They didn't know
