A really fun time with Zooey. She was the sister of a friend of mine and just a hell of a lot of fun.

Zooey's Song (1978)

I used to say yippee when I was still a hippie
I never thought twice when the going got slippery
I’d do what I’d choose, I’d sing my rock or my blues
and spend all my time playing for nickels and times
I was more than a man, I had my life in my hands
I never gave a damn about where I was going

So hey diddle diddle, get my guitar and my fiddle
I never was one to be the monkey in the middle
I told all in my songs, I had my rights and my wrongs
Some people didn’t like me ‘cause I came on too strong
But when you’ve got nothing, you ain’t got nothing to lose

bridge

So I’m packing my bags, I think I’m going back ten years
or maybe more
I’ll sail along on the words of the song that I’m singing
won’t you listen to me, baby,
I’ve got a few things to say about the way
I’ll spend my whole life baby
California, all aboard, I’m coming home
