Rockport Air Express
Overview: song is about the fun of flying and partying while on a flight. The build/chorus needs to sum up getting ready for flight end with chorus title line. One verse can be about getting away from a boring job and heading to a new adventure. One verse can be about a relationship that is no longer fun and a desire to move onto something else. One verse can be about breaking away from pressures of friends and parents and having a chance to get out on your own. The song should be fun and set a scene for fun and action. BPM: 110
Chorus
Take your seat – Rockport Air Express
Fasten up – Safety at it’s best
Ease on back – We’ll do all the rest
Rockport Air Express
1st Verse (getting away from a boring job and heading to a new adventure)
Same old coat and tie; boredom multiplies (10)
Southern Star’s calling; golden thighs (8)
You have had your fill; time to move on out (10)
Charcoal’s heating up; soft-mouth trout (8)
Build
Punch that card you’ve worked (so) hard; it’s high time to go
Chorus
2nd Verse (about a relationship that is no longer fun and a desire to move onto something else)
She turns off the light; you can’t reignite
Ocean wind walks in; cranes take flight
You don’t want to stay; what stands in your way
Texas Tea’s chilling; Fulton Bay
Build
Chase the beauty and charm; it’s God’s gift to live
Chorus
Solo-Instrumental
3rd Verse (breaking away from pressures of friends and parents and having a chance to get out on your own)
Friday night appears; pressure from your peers
Big Tree’s watching you; Live Oak beer
Father gives advice; now you’re thinking twice
Hummingbirds dancing; Jack on ice
Build
Leave your worries behind; it’s now time to board
Chorus
