HEY JONI
HEY JONI
PUT IT ALL BEHIND YOU
HEY JONI NOW I'VE PUT IT ALL BEHIND ME TOO
THESE TIMES CAN'T ADD UP, YR LIFE IS SUCH A MESS
FORGET THE PAST, AND JUST SAY YES
TELL ME JONI, AM I THE ONE, TO SEE YOU THROUGH?
IN THIS BROKEN TOWN CAN YOU STILL JACK IN,
AND KNOW WHAT TO DO? I REMEMBER OUR YOUTH,
OUR HIGH IDEALS, I REMEMBER YOU WERE SO UPTIGHT.
THAT TIME IN THE TREES, WE BROKE THAT VICE,
WE TOOK SOME STEPS AND NOW WE CAN'T THINK TWICE.
TELL ME JONI, AM I RIGHT BY YOU?
TELL ME HOW YR GONNA LOSE THIS HARD LUCK?
HEY JONI, WHEN WILL ALL THESE DREAMS COME TRUE?
YOU'D BETTER FIND A WAY TO CLIMB DOWN OFF THAT TRUCK.
SHOTS RING OUT FROM THE CENTER OF AN EMPTY FIELD,
JONI'S IN THE TALL GRASS. SHE'S A BEAUTIFUL MENTAL JUKEBOX,
A SAILBOAT EXPLOSION, A SNAP OF ELECTRIC WHIPCRACK.
SHE'S NOT THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE,
NOT SPINNING HER WHEELS,
SHE DOESN'T THINK AT ALL ABOUT THE PAST.
SHE THINKING LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT HIGH WILD SOUND,
AND WONDERING WILL IT LAST?
THERE'S SOMETHING TURNING, JONI, TURNING RIGHT TO YOU
MY HEAD BURNS, BUT I KNOW YOU'LL SPEAK THE TRUTH
HEY JONI, PUT IT ALL BEHIND YOU
HEY JONI, NOW I'VE PUT IT ALL BEHIND ME TOO
FORGET THE FUTURE, THESE TIMES ARE SUCH A MESS
TUNE OUT THE PAST, AND JUST SAY YES
IT'S 1963
IT'S 1964
IT'S 1957
IT'S 1962
PUT IT ALL BEHIND YOU
NOW IT'S ALL BEHIND YOU
