All I Want – Lonely Roads & Blue Motel Rooms – Las Cruces NM & El Paso TX – Gaia Son & Joni Mitchell

Dec 16th, 2014

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me

– All I Want, Blue (1970) Joni Mitchell

I’ve got a blue motel room
With a blue bedspread
I’ve got the blues inside and outside my head
Will you still love me
When I call you up when I’m down….

….I’ve got road maps
From two dozen states
I’ve got coast to coast just to contemplate
Will you still love me
When I get back to town

– Blue Motel Room, Hejira (1976) Joni Mitchell

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It’s the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be

– All I Want, Blue (1970) Joni Mitchell

After taking this picture, the owner or manager – an elderly woman dressed in a Sari – started yelling at me for taking a picture of “private property.” Perhaps she was concerned I was taking pictures of license plates in the parking lot.
