Can't Let Go

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.

Day drinking in Paris
Riding the ferris wheel
A tiny town in Ontario
Van Gogh would have loved
The colours in your hair
They sparkled like a rainbow

You drove a 59 caddy
That was dripping rust
Like fingers on a willow tree
You lived for the ride
And I liked you too much
You were so much wilder than me

CHORUS
Oh hey here we go
I want to but I can’t say no
Oh hey oh hey I know
I want to but I can’t let go

You had marks on your arms
From all of the harm you did 
To yourself at sixteen
So many tattoos
In so many hues
All screaming too bad to keep

I drove through the line
Cause the bottom line was
You were the one for me
I was holding on 
Before you were gone
Felt too good to let it be

CHORUS

Some nights I count stars
As I smoke in my car
By the road that used to be the way
It helps me forget
What you felt like
Been two years and 13 days

Last week 
You sent a me postcard
You signed your name with great big a heart Left me lonely and sad
Rock bottom bad
I’m trying but I can’t get started

CHORUS
