The Big 5 Inch

THE BIG 5 INCH
(Country Rock Style – loud guitars, river-town bar energy)
[Intro]
Yeah...
One, two... one, two, three, four!
[Verse 1]
Got the raft strapped down and the truck fueled up,
Montucky on ice in the back of the pickup,
Sun's breakin' through the Washington pines,
Whole crew rollin' out and we're right on time.
Gravel roads leadin' to the water's edge,
Nobody workin', nobody stressed,
Just the sound of the river and a Friday grin,
Everybody ready to jump right in.
[Pre-Chorus]
We ain't chasin' money, we ain't chasin' fame,
Just a little bit of freedom and a river to our name.
[Chorus]
Raise 'em high for the Big 5 Inch!
Floatin' that river, never givin' an inch!
Down the Toutle where the cold water runs,
Livin' for the day and the settin' sun.
Montucky crackin' and the campfire glows,
Singin' old songs that everybody knows,
Out here life don't cost that much,
Just the Big 5 Inch and a little good luck!
[Verse 2]
Hit a fast channel and the raft took flight,
Water splashin' everybody left and right,
Somebody yellin', somebody holdin' on,
Everybody laughin' when the rough part's gone.
Mount St. Helens watchin' from afar,
River bend shinin' like a neon bar,
No cell service and that's alright,
We're makin' memories that'll last all night.
[Pre-Chorus]
No deadlines callin', no clocks on the wall,
Just the river and the boys havin' a ball.
[Chorus]
Raise 'em high for the Big 5 Inch!
Floatin' that river, never givin' an inch!
Down the Toutle where the cold water runs,
Livin' for the day and the settin' sun.
Montucky crackin' and the campfire glows,
Singin' old songs that everybody knows,
Out here life don't cost that much,
Just the Big 5 Inch and a little good luck!
[Guitar Solo]
(Big southern-rock style lead guitar over driving drums)
[Final Chorus]
Raise 'em high for the Big 5 Inch!
Everybody singin', never givin' an inch!
Toutle River carry us down the line,
Good friends, cold beer, and a hell of a time.
Montucky high and the stars above,
This is the life that we all dream of,
Out here life don't cost that much,
Just the Big 5 Inch and a little good luck!
[Outro]
Yeah, the Big 5 Inch...
Down on the Toutle tonight...
Woo!
Bring me another Montucky! 🍻🎸🌊
