Verse 1 (Sami)
We were new to making promises
And there were few we didn’t keep
We’d spend our days talking bout the future
And there was no place in the word I’d rather be
Time was lazy when we were younger
But ambitious time picked up some speed
I woke one day beneath the water
While she sailed across the surface of the sea
Did I abandon her or did she…
Chorus
Call out to me (harmonized)
(Shannon)
I’m floating to Atlantis
Come with me
We both know I’m scared to swim
But honey give me time and then
Even if I don’t know what the plan is
I’ll find some way to meet you in Atlantis….in Atlantis
Verse 2 (Shannon)
I watched her sink into the water
I didn’t think she’d ever leave me
She was always hungry for adventure
And I was too afraid to dive for dreams
So I stayed where I was safe
Chorus
Until she, sang out to me (harmonized)
(Sami)
I’m moving to Atlantis come with me
I will teach you how to swim
You and I can now begin
Baby I don’t care what the whole plan is
We’ll figure out the details in Atlantis
(Shannon) In Atlantis
Outro
(Sami)
Come with me (come on baby)
to Atlantis
(Shannon)
Stay with me
(Sami)
Stay with me
(Shannon)
In Atlantis
(Sami)
In Atlantis
In Atlantis
(Shannon)
I want you here with me
In Atlantis
(Sami)
I want to take you to Atlantis
Let’s go
Let’s go
Let’s go down to Atlantis
(Shannon)
In Atlantis
(Sami)
Let’s go
Let’s go down to Atlantis
(Begin fade to end)
(Shannon)
In Atlantis
In Atlantis
In Atlantis

Hooky (in Chicago)
03:18
|
|||
Intro:
4 bars
Verse 1:
Well It’s a beautiful day in June
Whatcha doin’ this afternoon
I know there’s work to be done
But baby that don’t sound like fun
I’d rather spend my time on you
You say your sick days have all been used
And you don’t feel like taking the abuse
From the boss-man…well
Honey don’t worry ‘bout that
We’ll send him a post card wherever we’re at
And he can be envious of you
Pre-Chorus:
I, I, I
Think it’s time
Chorus:
For a guilty pleasure
Day of leisure
We’ll go and watch the Cubbies play a ball game
Take a lake-side breezy bike ride
Along the 3rd Coast
Hit a Museum
We never see ‘em
Catch a late-night show
There’s a million brilliant places we could go
But there’s no better city that I know
For playing hooky than Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Verse 2:
What if every day starting tomorrow
The sky was full of clouds
And filled with sorrow
Well I know that you would regret
Not having the day you could never forget
And I’ll just say I told you so
Pre-Chorus:
I, I, I
Think it’s time
Chorus:
For a guilty pleasure
Day of leisure
We’ll go and watch the Sox play a ball game
Take a lake-side breezy bike ride
Along the 3rd Coast
Hit a Museum
We never see ‘em
Catch a late-night show
There’s a million brilliant places we could go
But there’s no better city that I know
For playing hooky than Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
We’ll play hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Outro
There’s a million brilliant places we could go
But there’s no better city that I know
For playing hooky than Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Playing hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
We’ll play hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Playin hooky in Chicago
Ooh bop bop
Ooooooh…bop! bop!

Verse 1:
Perfect teeth
Crooked smile
Says she’s been broken for a while
Little crazy
Claims she’s sane
And my patience begins to wane
Bridge 1:
When I say I care about her
She laughs and says she’s flattered
While I lay broken, bruised and shattered
Chorus:
So why do I ride this carrousel
I know damn well that she won’t
Make up her mind anytime soon
But I still try
And pray she might
And that’s a foolish thing to do
Verse 2:
Another promise
Another break
Another lie for old time’s sake
Another sorry
Another drink
Another I need time to think
Bridge 2:
When I say I care about her
She laughs and says she’s flattered
While I lay broken, bruised and shattered
Chorus:
So why do I ride this carrousel
I know damn well that she won’t
Make up her mind anytime soon
But I still try
And pray she might
But that’s a foolish thing
Bridge 3:
I’m a glutton for this punishment
And all the things she really meant to say
Verse 4:
I offer her the world and she says alright
But she don’t feel like kissing me tonight
She reels me in and then she takes flight
Damn I wish confused girls weren’t my type
Oh I wish, Oh I wish
Confused girls were not my type

Intro:
8 bars
VERSE 1:
She wasn’t easy to convince
The first night that I met her
All she left where her fingerprints
On my skin, in my pride
I was convinced the first would also be the last time
BRIDGE 1:
But then I guess something had happened
That thing I’ll never know
And that woman took a chance on me
Incredible
2 bar instrumental
CHORUS:
We danced slow
Next step unknown
We didn’t waste our time defining what we’d already shown
We danced slow
I don’t remember much
But the way she seemed to move inside of me
When we touched
4 bar guitar solo
VERSE 2:
She’s the kind of woman
With a practical mind
And a thousand-mile love affair
Ain’t the practical kind
Serendipity don’t need to make sense
Our second-chance encounter broke the rules
And that’s when
BRIDGE 2:
I guess something had happened
I must’ve lost control
And the woman put her hands on me
Incredible
2 bars
CHORUS:
We danced slow
Next step unknown
We didn’t waste our time defining what we’d already shown
We danced slow
I don’t remember much
But the way she seemed to move inside of me
When we touched
8 bar guitar solo
OUTRO:
3X’s
She moved inside of me
While she moved beside me
She moved inside of me
And I just can’t comprehend
She moved inside of me
While she moved beside me
She moved inside of me
In my mind, under my skin

Intro
– guitar riff
Verse 1:
I had a country raisin’
Town fair playin’
Good ‘ol mom and dad
Spent Sundays in the summertime
With all their loyal fans
An old cowboy taught me how to two-step
I wasn’t bad ‘cuz he was great
Learned life lessons
Heard confessions
While someone’s granny fixed my plate
Bridge 1:
And I would always snicker
When that Loggin’s song came on
‘Cuz my mama kept us dancin’
And my daddy rocked ‘til dawn
Chorus 1:
And we danced through the dust of a country sunset
Homespun night of fun I could never forget
And my brother and I would hear the people say
Your mama and your daddy sure can sing
‘Cuz my mama and my daddy sure can sing
La da-da-da-da da-da da da da-da da
La da-da-da-da da-da da da da-da da
Verse 2:
I was an awkward singin’
Football slingin’
Jockey little girl
And my folks would joke the milkman
Put me in this world
But in due time I found my voice
And a song came out of me
My life’s lessons
Old confessions
Bring back those memories
Bridge 2:
How I would always snicker
When that Loggin’s song came on
‘Cuz my mama kept us dancin’
And my daddy rocked ‘til dawn
Chorus 2:
And we danced through the dust of a country sunset
Homespun night of fun I could never forget
And my brother and I would hear the people say
Your mama and your daddy sure can sing
‘Cuz my mama and my daddy sure can sing
La da-da-da-da da-da da da da-da da
La da-da-da-da da-da da da da-da da
4 bars Instrumental
Verse 3:
A few years ago I do recall
My ma and daddy came
To a sold-out show in Chicago
People screamin’ out my name
And before I stepped onto the stage
My folks gave me advice
Go and get ‘em
This is livin’
Honey music is your life
Bridge 3:
I remember thinking
When I looked into the crowd
I better rock this whole damn place
And make my parents proud
Chorus 3:
And we danced through the dust of a country sunset
Homespun night of fun I could never forget
And I took that opportunity to say
Thank you mama thank you daddy
For teaching me to sing
‘Cuz my mama and my daddy sure can sing
La da-da-da-da da-da da da da-da da
La da-da-da-da da-da da da da-da da
12 bars Instrumental
Come on let’s rock this whole damn place
Get up and sing it loud
Closing Chorus
And let’s dance through the dust of a country sunset
Homespun night of fun we will never forget
All ya’ll help me while I simply say
Thank you mama thank you daddy
For teaching me to sing
‘Cuz my mama and my daddy sure can sing

VERSE 1:
Well shit it’s early
Even though it’s half past 11:30
But the alcohol’s not done
And my vision is blurry
But take a break sight

So let me address everyone
If you’re not singing along
Then you’re not having fun
And we’ll all get mad
And pour our booze on you
IMPROV 1:
CHORUS 1:

REPEAT CHORUS 1
