Jennifer Hanson - '73 lyrics

Southern California

Standin' in the drive

A picture-perfect moment

Frozen in time

Mom holdin' Dad

Dad holdin' me

In '73

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)

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

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
