42.Quote a song that sums up your year:
I’m going to select snippets from three songs instead of just one complete song:

Places to Run – Jake Owen
I’ve lived all my life, with no ties that bind,
There wasn’t anything or anyone that I couldn’t leave behind,
I could always find a getaway from what I was hiding from,
It’s looking like I’ve run out of places to run.
Everywhere I go, and everything I do,
There ain’t a corner that I turn that ain’t one big deja vu,
I could always find a getaway from what I was hiding from

Better as a Memory – Kenny Chesney
I move on like a sinners prayer
And letting go like a levee breaks
Walk away as if I don't care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
Or built to fade like your favorite song
Get reckless when there's no need
Laugh as your stories ramble on
Break my heart, but it won't bleed

No Time to Cry – Joe Nichols
I got no time to look back. I got no time to see
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me.
And if the feelings start to come in I've learned to stop them fast,
Cause I don't know if I let ‘em go, they might not wanna pass.
I guess I'm older now
and I ain't got not time to cry
