Hey Joni (Battery Park, NYC: July 4th 2008)

[Chorus]

Hey Joni, put it all behind you

Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too

These times can't add up, your life is such a mess

Tune out the past and just say yes

[Verse 1]

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, 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

[Verse 2]

Tell me Joni, am I right by you?

Tell me how you'rе gonna lose this hard luck

Hey Joni, when will all thеse dreams come true?

You'd better find a way to climb down off that truck

[Verse 3]

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 whip crack

She's not thinking about the future, not spinning her wheels

She doesn't think at all about the past

She's thinking long and hard about that wild sound

And wondering, will it last?

[Guitar Solo]

Kick it

[Bridge]

Hey Joni, put it all behind you

There's something turning, it's turning right to you

My head burns but you speak the truth

[Chorus]

Hey Joni, put it all behind you

Hey Joni, now I've put it all behind me too

Just tell the future these times are such a mess

Tune out the past and just say yes

[Outro]

It's 1963

1948

2007

1986

Put it all behind you

Now it's all behind you
