Lynne Hanson

Too tough for folk and too blues influenced for country, LYNNE HANSON's brand of "porch music with a little red dirt" can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full-on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. The Ottawa songwriter is known for her high-energy, roots guitar driven live performances, whether playing solo or with her band the Good Intentions. Lynne is a two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner with The LYNNeS (2018 English Songwriter, Ensemble of the Year), a recipient of the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award, winner of the Blues and Roots Radio International Song Contest, two-time Folk Music Ontario Songs From The Heart Blues Award winner, a two-time Indie Acoustic Project Alt-Country album of the year winner, and a two-time Kerrville New Folk finalist. Lynne has performed in venues and festivals across North American and Europe.

CHORUS
John Prine in the afternoon
Writers Tears from nine till two
Spilling on the page
More last week than Yesterday 

Don’t tell me to hold on
Like some old water tower 
On the edge of town, on the edge of town
Looking down down down

I been waving my hands in the air
Oh for days now
Sorrow just sits and stares
Wearing that crown crown

Sometimes I wonder
If I count to three
If I were to tap my heels
Could I be worthy

CHORUS
John Prine in the afternoon
Writers Tears from nine till two
Spilling on the page
More last week than Yesterday
Sea of thorns across my feet
Barricades and old concrete
Lion in a cage
Oh the truth gets in the way

Sometimes I think back 
I think back to ninety three
Such a different world
When you and me

Would spend the afternoon
Down at the Surf n Tide
Photo in black and white
With your eyes so bright and wide

I couldn’t help but smile
Watching Lenny play
Laying it down
Always something real to say

CHORUS

Blue skies and butterflies
All things you try and hold on to
With both hands
Squeeze tight but time
Keeps moving on
Keeps moving on
Keeps moving

CHORUS
