Free Man In Paris - Joni Mitchell

    "The way I see it," he said
    "You just can't win it...
    Everybody's in it for their own gain
    You can't please 'em all
    There's always somebody calling you down
    I do my best
    And I do good business
    There's a lot of people asking for my time
    They're trying to get ahead
    They're trying to be a good friend of mine

    I was a free man in Paris
    I felt unfettered and alive
    There was nobody calling me up for favors
    And no one's future to decide
    You know I'd go back there tomorrow
    But for the work I've taken on
    Stoking the star maker machinery
    Behind the popular song

    I deal in dreamers
    And telephone screamers
    Lately I wonder what I do it for
    If l had my way
    I'd just walk through those doors
    And wander
    Down the Champs Elysees
    Going cafe to cabaret
    Thinking how I'll feel when I find
    That very good friend of mine

    I was a free man in Paris
    I felt unfettered and alive
    Nobody was calling me up for favors
    No one's future to decide
    You know I'd go back there tomorrow
    But for the work I've taken on
    Stoking the star maker machinery
    Behind the popular song."
