Mitchell, Joni - Car On A Hill Lyrics






I've been sitting up waiting for my sugar to show
I've been listening to the sirens & the radio
(Listening to the sirens & the radio)
He said he'd be over three hours ago
I've been waitin' for his car on the hill
(Waitin' for his car on the hill)

He makes friends easy
He's not like me
I watch for judgment anxiously
Now where in the city
Can that boy be?
Waitin' for a car
Climbin', climbin'
Climbin' the hill

He's a real good talker
I think he's a friend
Fast tires come screaming around the bend
(Fast tires come screaming around the bend)
But there's still no buzzer
They roll on
And I'm waitin' for his car on the hill
(Waitin' for his car on the hill)

You know he seemed so righteous at the start
When there's so much laughter
When there's so much spark
When there's so much sweetness in the dark
Waitin' for a car
Climbin', climbin'
Climbin' the hill

    I've been sitting up waiting for my sugar to show
    I've been listening to the sirens and the radio
    He said he'd be over three hours ago
    I've been waiting for his car on the hill (Waiting for his car on the hill)
    He makes friends easy
    He's not like me
    I watch for judgement anxiously
    Now, where in the city can that boy be?
    Waiting for a car
    Climbing
    Climbing
    Climbing the hill
    He's a real good talker, I think he's a friend
    Fast tires come screaming around the bend
    But there's still no buzzer
    They roll on
    And I'm waiting for his car on the hill
    It always seems so righteous at the start
    When there's so much laughter
    When there's so much spark
    When there's so much sweetness in the dark
    Waiting for a car
    Climbing
    Climbing
    Climbing the hill

    This required so many fine musicians, great lyricism and great craftmanship - which is why you don't get to hear songs like this anymore. It is the law of diminishing returns.

    ( continued from my former) are really screwed up about women now.
    The winner? The asshole guy in the car on the hill. Every time.

  15. r.... ....

    Songs like this, with the guy she’s crazy over, show why nice guys finish last with women and why men
    realized belatedly that feminism was such a lie.
    These are the guys who get the women ( Car On a Hill), and JM knew it. Also, Court and Spark lyrics, the same.
    And then Joni did songs like Harry’s House, Edith and the Kingpin.
    A lot of conflict in Joni’s songs and women thinking back and forth like this shows how a lot of guys

    r.... ....

    wrong she's in an entirely different sphere

  16. G.... S....

    So much laughter, so much spark
    So much sweetness in the dark

    G.... S....

    Yes. Sweetness in the dark. For a guy who thinks no more of her than the woman he was with yesterday. And she gives the sweetness to this guy instead of a nice guy who loves her.
    That’s the fact that evolution has made males and females that way.

  17. A.... D....

    I think she wrote this one for Jackson Browne...

    A.... D....

    I believe you are right. They had broken up around that time.

  18. J.... G....

    God how I miss those wonderful years !!! Love 💘

    J.... G....

    Me too!!!♥️🐾

    J.... G....

    RIP John, Joe and now Max, too.

  19. K.... J....

    Astounding construction and orchestration. Still knocks me flat.

  20. M.... ....

    one of the must albums you would want if you were on a deserted island.

    M.... ....

    Joni grabbed me and many others with this album,this song delivers on all fronts.Revisiting Blue then moving onto Hissing O S L's Joni captures our lives & our hearts.One great Lady.

    M.... ....

    MrSteveb80
    But how would we listen to it? 🤔

    M.... ....

    @Eye Gotcha they use to find way's on Gilligans Island. guess we'd have to get stuck with a professer on the boat.

  21. M.... K....

    Best ever!

  22. R.... ....

    The brother of a friend of mine gave me this album, PLUS the album on cassette.
    I played it 3, 4, 5 times a day for the next 2 months.
