[INTRO — 12 BARS, INSTRUMENTAL] [Vintage Hohner Comet harmonica plays a sweet clear melody] [Warm piano answers; soft ukulele and tambourine join] [Slap bass settles into a relaxed, smiling groove] [VERSE 1 — BUBBA, SUNG] Found a little music in an old red case, Chrome shining back at my weathered face. Made across the ocean, found its way to me, Now it's singing Georgia like a breeze through the trees. [HARMONICA BREAK — 8 BARS] [Comet plays a rising melody] [Darlene answers softly on tenor sax] [VERSE 2 — DARLENE, SUNG] Some songs don't need a thousand words, Just a breath and a note that wants to be heard. Play it slow, Bubba, let the memory shine, I'll answer with my horn, one line at a time. [CHORUS — BOTH, SUNG] Let that old Comet shine, Through the Georgia pines. Let the piano roll and the low bass swing, Every little breath's got a song to sing. Play a little, sing a little, let the whole day start, A pocketful of music and a thankful heart. Oh, the years roll on, but the feeling's fine, Let that old Comet shine. [INSTRUMENTAL — 12 BARS] [Four bars: harmonica solo, sweet and ringing] [Four bars: gospel piano answers] [Four bars: banjo and kalimba trade bright notes] [VERSE 3 — BUBBA, COUNTRY RAP / TALK-SING] [Slap bass pops, piano bounces, tambourine shakes] Got a chrome little harp and a whole lot of air, Take it to the porch, let the world spin out there. A little bit of funk, little front-porch swing, Darlene blows the sax and the whole place sings. Luther's banjo picking, Otis on the keys, Cletus keeps it easy with a bluesy guitar tease. Ain't got to hurry, ain't got to prove, Sometimes all you need is a homegrown groove. [INSTRUMENTAL — 16 BARS] [Eight bars: Comet harmonica featured solo] [Four bars: funky slap bass and boogie piano] [Four bars: sax and harmonica call-and-response] [VERSE 4 — DARLENE, SUNG] When the hard days come and the road gets long, You can find some peace in a simple song. And the sweetest sound doesn't have to be loud, Just a little bit of grace breaking through the clouds. [BRIDGE — SPOKEN] [BUBBA] Darlene, you reckon that little harmonica knows how many miles it's traveled? [DARLENE] Maybe not, Bubba. But it sure knows how to bring you home. [QUIET INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS] [Wooden flute and ocarina play a tender answer] [Harmonica returns over soft organ chords] [FINAL CHORUS — BOTH, SUNG; LIGHT GOSPEL HARMONIES] Let that old Comet shine, Through the Georgia pines. Let the piano roll and the low bass swing, Every little breath's got a song to sing. Play a little, sing a little, let the whole day start, A pocketful of music and a thankful heart. Thank You, Lord, for the gift of time, And let that old Comet shine. [OUTRO — 16 BARS, INSTRUMENTAL] [Harmonica sings the chorus melody] [Piano, slap bass and ukulele keep the groove] [Darlene's tenor sax answers; banjo adds a gentle roll] [Harmonica closes alone on a soft lingering phrase]
