Met a girl in paradise
Her skin was dark, freckled by the light
Hair was blonde, from days in the waves
Tattoos they sang the story of her song
A lovely song, yeah
Many things to learn I don't already know
Many places to go
On unknown roads
Many places to be I've never seen
I travel alone
One day who knows
Might need a partner for dusty road
Now ain't the time
One day who knows
Might need a hand to hold for dusty road
A dusty road
Shouldn't have asked, but I needed to know
Is there a man waiting for you at home?
I've got a man it's true, I also like you
I just don't like dishonesty
It's not the right time, I'm so sorry
It ain't the time, she said to me
But I'm a patient man, you'll see
And you'll see
You'll see
I look for her in those sleepy towns
I'll expect her every corner around
Look for her at the carnival
As the gypsies roll through town
Through town, yeah
See you at the oasis
Let the desert rain
Meet me at Joshua Tree
Ohh ohh
Meet me at Joshua Tree
Ohh ohh
The sun goes down
The sun goes down, yeah
