I Sure Miss Those Lake Days extra

[VERSE 1 — BUBBA, SUNG]
I sure miss walking down to that old boat dock,
No place I had to be, no need to watch the clock.
I'd untie that pontoon, ease her from the shore,
Let Lake Lanier carry me a little more.

[INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS]
[Wooden flute carries a lazy melody]
[Ocarina answers; piano slips in a gentle fill]

[VERSE 2 — DARLENE, SUNG]
There was sunshine on the water, pine trees on the hill,
And a kind of easy quiet that I swear you can feel.
Sometimes the best thing you can do
Is let the breeze and the water sing to you.

[CHORUS — BUBBA AND DARLENE, SUNG]
Take me back to those easy rides,
With the Georgia hills on either side.
Let the piano roll, let that silver flute play,
Let the whole world hurry while we drift away.
I can't turn back time, but I still can see
That wide blue water waiting there for me.
Oh, I sure miss those days,
Those easy, easy lake days.

[INSTRUMENTAL — 12 BARS]
[Kalimba plays the chorus hook]
[Darlene's tenor sax answers low and sweet]
[Slap bass adds two playful pops; tambourine keeps time]

[VERSE 3 — BUBBA, SUNG]
Over to Landmark Marina, put a little gas in the tank,
Wave to the folks at the dock, then turn and drift away.
Or climb into that Procraft fish-and-ski,
Go looking for a big old bass where the shade trees lean.

[INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS]
[Silver concert flute takes a bright solo]
[Piano answers with a bluesy little run]

[COUNTRY RAP — BUBBA, RELAXED TALK-SING]
[Slap bass pops; piano bounces; tambourine shakes]
Ease that Procraft around the bend,
Fishing pole and a little time to spend.
Cast that lure where the old logs lay,
Watch that line, let the worries fade.
One quick tug, then the water breaks,
Big old bass got the whole boat shaking!
But catch or no catch, I already know,
The best part's the ride when you take it slow.

[INSTRUMENTAL — 16 BARS]
[4 bars — funky slap bass solo]
[4 bars — rolling honky-tonk piano solo]
[4 bars — Darlene's soulful tenor sax solo]
[4 bars — wooden flute and ocarina trade phrases]

[VERSE 4 — DARLENE, SUNG]
It's funny how a memory can bring you home,
Even when the years keep rolling on.
Not just the fish or the miles you made,
But the quiet little moments that never fade.

[CHORUS — DUET, SUNG]
Take me back to those easy rides,
With the Georgia hills on either side.
Let the piano roll, let that silver flute play,
Let the whole world hurry while we drift away.
I can't turn back time, but I still can see
That wide blue water waiting there for me.
Oh, I sure miss those days,
Those easy, easy lake days.

[BRIDGE — BUBBA, SOFTLY SPOKEN]
You know, Darlene...
I wouldn't even have to catch a fish.
I'd just like one more easy afternoon out there.

[DARLENE, SOFTLY SUNG]
Some places never leave your heart.
And some old songs can take you back.

[OUTRO — INSTRUMENTAL, 20 BARS]
[Piano plays a gentle rolling refrain]
[Kalimba sparkles; wooden flute and ocarina answer]
[Silver flute floats over soft slap bass and ukulele]
[Darlene's tenor sax plays a last warm phrase]
[Tambourine fades; instruments drift away like a boat rounding the bend]
