[Verse 1]
Start the morning filling up the same cup
Take the first sip, alright, bottoms up
This will be the last familiar thing you’ll be doing for awhile
Step on out, you’ll be covered by the sun’s rays
It’s like they know you’re heading up and away
Your nerves might be shaking, but they’re shaking to a rhythm and in style
Oh, I’m far past my second thought
I overthink and I’d love to stop
There’s just no getting off this train
Will I hope to be back with my chains?
They say that there’s no place like home
And that’s fine, but I think a tad overblown
That said, when we leave the nest, it sure can’t hurt to have a guide
Deep breaths, take a few little steps
Still on the sand, we’re about to get our feet wet
Let’s take a step out of our comfort zone and then
We’ll take a walk on the wilde side
[Chorus]
Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh
Woah, oh oh
A walk on the wilde side
[Verse 2]
End of Day 1, and I’m feeling just fine
Topping off my second glass of peach wine
Not much for us to do right now except to just kick back and hang
I don’t dance, but this new hit makes me want to
A new rhythm that puts me in a different mood
We just met, but already, it feels like I’ve always been part of the gang
In one day, there’s so much we’ve roamed
For the first time, I don’t want to go home
I’m ready to raise up my glass and make a new oath to abide
When we’re done and we’re all ready to go back
If we find ourselves in circles on the same track
Let’s head on out on the path less traveled by
And take a walk on the wilde side
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
See, that wasn’t so bad
In fact, I think I see myself coming back

Oh, it’s Monday morning and it’s time to greet the brightest dawn
It didn’t feel like long, but a whole weekend came and gone
You might think it’s just a memory, but I’ll make one thing clear
I promise we’ll meet again next year
We slept in just a bit too long and checkout tiem is noon
I think I lost my passport and my ride’s arriving soon
Let’s leave the sappy goodbyes for when we’re all downstairs
Hurry up, now, we better get down there
We haven’t left yet, and already, it feels
Like the rush of everyday life hooked us in and spun its reel
And I find myself pulling away
A little longer, can we stay?
No, I have quite the trip ahead and I’m already late,
But if, somehow, I missed my flight, I think I’d be okay
This might be goodbye, but we’ll say hello again
And I’ll hug you as tightly as I can
Finally, a moment of rest
And as I reflect, I realized how much I’m blessed
Oh, I sure won’t forget you
I hope you won’t forget me
Tuesday morning and it’s time to get back to the grind
It’s easy to think that we both just left so much behind,
But we’re not the same as we were a few days ago
I’m still with you and you’re with me too
What we have doesn’t have to end
We don’t have to talk every day to be the best of friends
Besides, I’m sure these months will fly by
Goodbye, my friend, until next time!
Until next time

Come, my love, and be with me,
Little Liza Jane,
Come, my love, and be with me,
Little Liza Jane
[Chorus]
Oh, eliza, little ‘liza jane
Oh, Eliza, little ‘liza, jane
I got a house in Baltimore,
Little Liza Jane,
Street cars running by my door,
Little Liza Jane.
[Chorus]
I've got a friend in San Antone, little Liza Jane
Tumbleweeds and cactus grow, little Liza Jane
[Chorus]
I've got a friend in Providence, little Liza Jane
Bluebird sitting on the fence, little Liza Jane
[Chorus]
I’ve got a friend in Chicago, little liza jane
Come and feel the cold winds blow, little liza jane
[Chorus]
I got a friend in Tokyo
Little Liza Jane
Spring-time cherry blossoms grow, little liza jane
[Chorus]
[Solo]
{Single gentle strum each chord]
Come, my love, and be with me,
Little Liza Jane,
Come, my love, and be with me,
Little Liza Jane

Breathe it in then let it out
Taste the night time air
The stars are giving us a show tonight
Make a wish before it ends then brace yourselves, my friends
Cross my heart, our future is bright
I think you just rolled your eyes
and that's fine, but that's fine, but let me say
So many who's dreams came true once felt their lives were astray
Nights like this are just perfect to kick back and contemplate
Maybe with a couple friends who might be in the same state
Boy, am I glad you're here
It's the perfect time to say
That I've been where you are
Lost under the watchful stars
Breath it in then let it out
Taste that night time breeze
Oh, I see a sign in the stars tonight
Don't think too much now, my friends
Hurry up before it ends
Darkest times follow where it's bright
Is the fire burning out or is the breeze stronger now?
Looks like it's about that time, it's all my energy allows
Just before we go, I'll say that I would never pretend
That each one has their own wounds and their own ways to mend
You just have to look inside while still looking ahead
Believe me, I've been there too
You can do it, I believe in you
Stand up now and take a breath
Taste the night time air
The stars are ending their show for the night
Whatever wish that you made, I'll always be your aid
Through and through, I'm there with you

As nice as a bed would be, this hammock has a charm
The red and orange sunrise might as well be my alarm
I'll stand up, stretch, and yawn with one thing on my mind
To later take off to the skies and leave my worries behind
Guess I'll be up there working all throughout the day
Still, there's no reason we can't have fun along the way
I may take my time, but you can always count on me
For now, I'm gone, solid gone
To the skies where I'll be free
Little from the start to end, that's the life I lead
Good place, good friends, good music, what more do you need?
I'm down for a party after the skies
Kick back or just take a dive
These are the moments that make me laugh and say "This is the life"
I guess tomorrow, we'll be working through the day
Still, there's no reason we can't have fun along the way
It might take some time, but you can always count on me
For now, I'm gone, solid gone
I'll let the rhythm break me free
There's always tomorrow
There will be so many storms, but they'll all have an end
Whenever I fall down, it won't be long until the skies are calling me again
Alright now, friends. Thank you all for being here
The party's winding down and my curfew is near
Sleep well, tonight, be sure to take care of yourselves
For now, I'm gone, but not for long
You'll be seeing more of me
I can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for me
Oh, what a day, one that I'll never forget
Don't trouble me with troubles, leave every regret
Tomorrow might have a surprise in store for us
For now, I'm gone
We'll both be sleeping well tonight
I'm gone, solid gone
Sweet dreams and good night
Sweet dreams and good night
