In Northern California ( Where The Palm Tree Meets The Pine) - Danny O'Keefe (丹尼·欧基夫)[00:00:00]
Well it was closin' time tryin' to beat the clock[00:00:07]
And waitin' for a woman as fast as her talk[00:00:12]
When up limped a crippled woman[00:00:18]
I'm a little slick[00:00:23]
She said [00:00:26]
There's only two kinds in the end of it[00:00:26]
The dead of course and the quick[00:00:30]
And the dead of course stand naked[00:00:34]
With their backs against the wall[00:00:38]
Now there's two ways[00:00:42]
You can have it son she said[00:00:43]
Mine or not at all[00:00:46]
She'd thrown away her crutches[00:00:52]
But I knew that I'd need mine[00:00:56]
In northern California[00:01:01]
Where the palm tree meets the pine[00:01:04]
She was a much older woman[00:01:11]
You can always tell by the shoes[00:01:15]
She dealt in fools and gamblers[00:01:19]
And boys who made the news[00:01:23]
Her body smelled like roses look[00:01:29]
Her nails were sharp and long[00:01:32]
Her heart she said was an open book[00:01:36]
And on every page a song[00:01:40]
So I helped her with her braces[00:01:46]
Said the pleasure was all mine man[00:01:49]
In northern California[00:01:56]
Where the palm tree meets the pine[00:01:59]
Up in northern California[00:02:02]
Where the palm tree meets the pine[00:02:06]
Like all of us she had her dreams[00:02:13]
Not the least was true romance[00:02:16]
But I knew I'd lost the handle[00:02:20]
When she softly sighed [00:02:24]
Let's dance[00:02:26]
She love me like she knew I was[00:02:30]
An outlay on the run[00:02:34]
And in the morning when I woke[00:02:38]
I was the crippled one[00:02:42]
So I left her as I found her[00:02:47]
Right in the nick of time[00:02:51]
In northern California[00:02:57]
Where the palm tree meets the pine[00:03:00]
Yup in northern California[00:03:04]
Where the palm tree meets the pine[00:03:08]
