Car On A Hill Lyrics
I've been sitting up waiting for my sugar to show
I've been listening to the sirens and the radio
He said he'd be over three hours ago
I've been waiting for his car on the hill
He makes friends easy
He's not like me
I watch for judgement anxiously
Now where in the city can that boy be
Waiting for a car
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing the hill
He's a real good talker--I think he's friend
Fast tires come screaming around the bend
But there's still no buzzer
They roll on...
And-I'm waiting for his car on the hill
It always seems so righteous at the start
When there's so much laughter
When there's so much spark
When there's so much sweetness in the dark
Waiting for a car
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing the hill
I've been listening to the sirens and the radio
He said he'd be over three hours ago
I've been waiting for his car on the hill
He makes friends easy
He's not like me
I watch for judgement anxiously
Now where in the city can that boy be
Waiting for a car
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing the hill
Fast tires come screaming around the bend
But there's still no buzzer
They roll on...
And-I'm waiting for his car on the hill
It always seems so righteous at the start
When there's so much laughter
When there's so much spark
When there's so much sweetness in the dark
Waiting for a car
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing the hill

Been here so many times. Waiting for the buzzer - - - - -- waiting for that person to show up, feeling so vunerable until they do....

Best lyrics about the early stages of a relationship. Ever.
No clue as to whom this one is about, but the theme of waiting for your lover is familiar and accessible. She describes herself often as shy, reserved, less comfortable in crowds. In the context of it's time, the music scene was given increasingly over to the substances and wealth that came with success. You had to work the deal out there, and she always seemed reticent.
But it is clear that she is in her little house in Laurel Canyon while her boy is down partying somewhere in LA.
The boy was Jackson Browne - obviously it didn't work out.

Joni is impatiently waiting for he man, Graham Nash, to drive up Laurel Canyon to her house.
