"'73 (Everything Changes)" by Jennifer Hanson (Jennifer Hanson)

1st Verse

Southern California
Standin' in the drive
A picture-perfect moment
Frozen in time
Mom holdin' Dad
Dad holdin' me
In '73

2nd Verse

There's me in that striped dress
Beneath the Big Boy sign
Bottom of the Polaroid says fall of '79
Yeah, that's the night that Dad
Tried to explain to me
Why he had to leave

Chorus

Everything changes
Hey, that's reality
Sometimes I wonder
How all our lives would be
If they'd'a stayed in love
(Like they were)
(In '73)

3rd Verse

Here's pictures openin' presents
December '83
Some with Mom and some with Dad
Two different Christmas trees
And there's me and my new half-brother
In his baby-blue outfit
Winter '86

4th Verse

Mom and I, we both survived
Those awkward teenage years
Graduation '91
Dad flew back to be there
There's me in my cap and gown
Standin' between them
The three of us again

(Chorus Out)



   "Joyride" by Jennifer Hanson (Jennifer Hanson)

1st Verse

Show me a woman or a man who's got a plan
And I will show you God is laughin' out his window
You must admit you can't predict
The way the pieces fit
Yeah, life is as uncertain as the wind blows

Pre Chorus

Lately I been thinkin'
Which could be a dangerous thing
Baby, the green light's blinkin'
Let's get out of this slow lane, and just

Chorus

Drive
Get away like Bonnie and Clyde
C'mon drive
We'll get a taste of the outside
Let's take a joyride
Life's a joyride

2nd Verse

I got a hundred bucks I bet it's gonna bring us luck
'Cause I can feel it burnin' in my pocket
Let's drive to Reno
Find a funky ol' casino
We can roll with it or baby we can rock it

Pre Chorus

So put your feet up on the dashboard
Play your guitar and we'll sing all night, and just

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Lately I been thinkin'
Which could be a dangerous thing

Tag Chorus

So let's drive
Get away like Bonnie and Clyde
C'mon drive
We'll get a taste of the outside
Oh yeah, let's drive
Get away like two thieves in the night
C'mon drive
We'll steal a taste of the outside
Let's take a joyride
Life's a joyride
Oh, oh yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na...



  "Beautiful Goodbye" by Jennifer Hanson (Jennifer Hanson/Kim Patton-Johnston)

1st Verse

It's like the most amazing sunset you've ever seen
There's never another quite the same
It just falls into some eternal sea
Or like the end of a movie that makes you cry
You're sad when it's over, but you're glad you had
That moment that moved you deep inside

Chorus

Beautiful goodbye
Baby, goodbye
I enjoyed the ride
We really had us a time
It's a strange kind of high
A beautiful goodbye

2nd Verse

I'm standin' here watchin' you drive away
We were so grown up about it all
But how will it look in the light of day
I miss you already, but don't turn around
It's funny how you know when it just won't work
And how letting go can echo the sweetest sound

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

It's so ironic, it's so confusing
To do the right thing and be losin'
I'm always stuck with choosin'
Ain't that just like life
Hey yeah, hey yeah yeah

(Repeat Chorus)

Goodbye, yeah, nah nah nah nah



"This Far Gone" by Jennifer Hanson (Mark Nesler/Tony Martin)

1st Verse

I've been drivin'
And I've been thinkin'
For a least a hundred miles
And I'm seein' a lot of things
I never saw before
For the first time
Leavin' you
Doesn't feel quite so wrong

Chorus

But then again
I've never been
This far gone

2nd Verse

Well, I was runnin' flat on empty
Runnin' scared for quite some time
So afraid of what I might do
If I stopped, oh yeah
But I did, and I can't believe
I'm back on the highway
And not on the phone

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

All the other times
My heart turned me around
But this time I'm not goin' back
I'm way past that point now

Tag

You know I never really thought
I could make it on my own
But then again
I've never been
This far gone
Oh, then again
I've never been
This far gone
Ooh, yeah



"Travis" by Jennifer Hanson (Jennifer Hanson/Kim Patton-Johnston)

1st Verse

You were born between a rock and a hard place
To a couple 'a losers
I lived on the other side of your duplex
I heard you gettin' those bruises
I never woulda wanted to walk in your shoes
It scared me to death, I was just a kid, too
Sometimes I still think about you, oh

Chorus

Travis, are you out there somewhere
Searchin' for somebody to care
Are you doin' the same thing
That your daddy did to you
Wish I could have helped ya somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain
How come nobody seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis

2nd Verse

Did you follow in your mama's footsteps
Strung out on bad things
Just a product of circumstances
Never taught what love means
Travis, I hope you did it different this time
All you had to do was make up your mind
Well, how did you decide to live your life, oh

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

And the circle goes around
Until someone hears the sound
Of a breakin' heart

Tag Chorus

Wish I could have helped ya somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain
How come nobody seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis, Travis, Travis, Travis
