歌词
Written by：Joni Mitchell

爸爸的信仰是家国（Joni的父亲曾是一名空军上尉）
Papas faith is people
妈妈的信仰却是家务
爸爸视人民的利益高于一切
Mama she believes in cleaning
妈妈却将家里的卫生视为头等大事
爸爸赚钱养家糊口
Papas faith is in people
妈妈经常扯些有完没完的“妇道”
她不喜欢我紧身的褶裙
Mama she's always cleaning
她不喜欢我绿色的眼影
她不喜欢我夜不归宿
Papa brought home the sugar
不喜欢我穿着高跟鞋
Mama taught me the deeper meaning
在摇滚舞会里风流快活
爸爸却说：“给女儿一点空间，亲爱的，
She don't like my kick pleat skirt
她看上去是块电影明星的料。”
She don't like my eyelids painted green
妈妈认为是她宠坏了我
爸爸却知道他给予了我自由
She don't like me staying up late
妈妈觉得我已无可救药
In my high-heeled shoes
她为此自责不已
爸爸却对我的未来表示祝福
Living for that rocknroll dancing scene
成长真是一条崎岖的路
如今妈妈放手
Papa says leave the girl alone mother
旧时的记忆却总在我脑海中浮现
有时我设想这样的场景：
She's looking like a movie queen
成家立业
Mama thinks she spoilt me
相夫教子
我持有如此强烈的渴望
Papa knows somehow he set me free
我想成家立业
我想相夫教子
Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten
但这念头就像夏日一样转瞬即逝
我不过是一粒沉浮于天地之间的花种
She blames herself
就让我像蒲公英一样随风飘散吧
But papa he blesses me
Its a rough road to travel
Mama let go now
Its always called for me
Sometimes I get that feeling
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
I get that strong longing
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
But it passes like the summer
I'm a wild seed again
Let the wind carry me
