Crew of Four

[Intro – bright ukulele strum, light shaker] Sunlight spills on the old back porch Our favorite seats are worn and scorched [Verse 1 – steady acoustic guitar, soft bass line] Johnny’s got the map folded tight in his coat Daisy’s humming tunes that she wrote Gooby’s packing snacks that we’ll never finish Marty’s fixing up the old wagon’s dented dish [Pre-Chorus – rising vocal harmonies, tambourine tap] No plan but the open road ahead No clocks to race, no words left unsaid [Chorus – full band, upbeat tambourine, group vocals] We’re Johnny, Daisy, Gooby, Marty, the crew Stitching up adventures wherever we choose Dust on our boots and stars in our view This ragtag family’s all we ever need to get through [Verse 2 – layered ukulele, gentle snare roll] Johnny’s chasing fireflies at dusk’s first glow Daisy’s picking wildflowers from the roadside row Gooby’s napping in the wagon’s shaded corner Marty’s telling jokes that make us snort and yawner [Pre-Chorus – harmonies swell, hand claps join in] No end to the stories we’ll make tonight No fear of the dark when we’re side by side [Chorus – full band, louder group vocals, crashing cymbal] We’re Johnny, Daisy, Gooby, Marty, the crew Turning every detour into something true Scars on our jeans and laughter that’s new This ragtag family’s all we ever need to get through [Bridge – stripped back acoustic guitar, solo vocal] When the rain comes down and the wind starts to howl We huddle close and watch the storm roll out No one’s left behind, no one’s on their own This crew’s a home we can always call our own [Solo – playful harmonica riff, bouncy bass line] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, maximum energy, crowd-like hand claps] We’re Johnny, Daisy, Gooby, Marty, the crew Living every moment like it’s our last debut Worn out shoes and dreams that come true This ragtag family’s all we ever need to get through [Outro – fading ukulele, soft group hum] Sun dips low on the horizon line Our crew’s still going, still feeling fine
