In Northern California (Where the Palm Tree Meets the Pine) - Danny O'Keefe

Well it was closin' time tryin' to beat the clock

And waitin' for a woman as fast as her talk

When up limped a crippled woman

I'm a little slick

She said

There's only two kinds in the end of it

The dead of course and the quick

And the dead of course stand naked

With their backs against the wall

Now there's two ways

You can have it son she said

Mine or not at all

She'd thrown away her crutches

But I knew that I'd need mine

In northern California

Where the palm tree meets the pine

She was a much older woman

You can always tell by the shoes

She dealt in fools and gamblers

And boys who made the news

Her body smelled like roses look

Her nails were sharp and long

Her heart she said was an open book

And on every page a song

So I helped her with her braces

Said the pleasure was all mine man

In northern California

Where the palm tree meets the pine

Up in northern California

Where the palm tree meets the pine

Like all of us she had her dreams

Not the least was true romance

But I knew I'd lost the handle

When she softly sighed

Let's dance

She love me like she knew I was

An outlay on the run

And in the morning when I woke

I was the crippled one

So I left her as I found her

Right in the nick of time

In northern California

Where the palm tree meets the pine

Yup in northern California

Where the palm tree meets the pine
