Early "Runaway" Lyrics Brainstorm​: Very early draft of "Runaway" handwritten by Jon. The lyrics begin familiarly but quickly spin into other ideas that did not make the final cut. There are also notes for a setlist, including several songs from Bon Jovi's debut album, with "Runaway" circled.​

"Burning For Love" Lyrics​: Jon's handwritten draft for the song "Burning For Love" with alternate lyrics ("burning with love") and chord progression notes.​

"She Don't Know Me" Lyrics: Handwritten lyrics for "She Don't Know Me,​" with minor reworkings and a strip of clear tape on the page.
