Jennifer & the River Crew

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strum, soft fiddle hum] Sun dips low on the county line Screen glow paints the porch in lime [Verse 1 – steady guitar rhythm, light snare tap] Got a girl who sits right behind me While I click and tap till my eyes go sleepy She’s sweet as pie, laughs at all my dumb jokes Her cat Jekkie curls up where the cold air don’t poke [Pre-Chorus – rising fiddle melody, subtle bass line] She knows my favorite drink, my favorite seat Turns every quiet night into something neat Handed me a glass with my name etched slow Said “For the nights you don’t wanna let go” [Chorus – full band, foot-stomping beat, harmonica riff] Jennifer’s love is the warmest glow Jekkie’s purr keeps the cold wind low We fish with the boys down the muddy bend 10 big fools, laughing till our sides mend [Verse 2 – playful fiddle trill, acoustic guitar pickin’] Last Saturday we hit the river at dawn Lines in the water, stories drawn We joked and jostled, rubbed each other’s sore backs Till we all groaned and said “Enough of that” [Pre-Chorus 2 – layered vocals, brighter fiddle] She brought snacks and that glass with my name Said “Y’all boys gonna drive me insane” Jekkie chased a frog down the river bank We all howled till our voices sank [Chorus 2 – amplified band, call-and-response harmonies] Jennifer’s smile is the best reward Jekkie’s antics keep our hearts aboard We fish till the sun burns the sky red 10 big men, no words left unsaid [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft vocals] Some nights we don’t leave the couch at all Just watch the screen, let the world fall But when the weekend rolls around we run free With the river, the boys, and my Jennifer Lee [Solo – twangy electric guitar, foot-stomping beat] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus 3 – full band, maximum energy, fiddle solo overlay] Jennifer’s love is the warmest glow Jekkie’s purr keeps the cold wind low We fish with the boys down the muddy bend 10 big fools, laughing till our sides mend [Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft fiddle fade] Sun comes up on the river shore Jennifer’s hand in mine, wanting more
