hmmm... good question.  although i can't think of one
to live in now (yet love the choices suggested by others),
i have thought before of at least two joni songs i USED
to live in -- in my NYC waitress/bartending days:

barangrill:
"none of the crazy you get from too much choice"
and
"ah, her mind's on her boyfriend and eggs over easy"

the boho dance:
"i was a hopeful in rooms like this
when i was working cheap"

two songs that i used to feel (sometimes still do!) that
joni wrote just for me!

PS: although the one song that a bunch of us used to
sing loud and pretend to live in, at this old roughandtumble
pub called "riverrun" down in tribeca--torn down now--
was: "brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife
you would be...but my life, my love and my lady, is
the sea."  by the looking glass?  anyway: i highly
recommend it to anyone currently in the waitress/bartend
trade.
