Cricket Legs

Cricket Legs

Song Lyrics by Tarah Walsh

Acoustic country-pop. Sad-nostalgic lyrics with an uplifting beat. Rascal Flatts meets Dixie Chicks, with Kacey Musgraves.  

[Verse 1]

Sittin’ on the back porch
Sippin’ on a little life
Listenin’ as the night wakes

Watchin’ old memories
of chasin’ fireflies
with you

[Chorus]

C’mon cricket legs
C’mon lightnin’ bugs

Sing the songs
that feel like love

[Post-Chorus– wordless vocal fill]

Hey, hey, oooOOoohhh

[Verse 2]

World moves quiet
Stars feel lonely
Chair rocks slowly

Can’t shake the
song of summer
from you

[Chorus]

C’mon cricket legs
C’mon lightnin’ bugs

Sing the songs
that feel like love

[Post-Chorus– wordless vocal fill]

Heyyy heyyy heyyy ooooOOOOoooooo

[Bridge]

Hear your laughter ringin’
See your bare feet swingin’
Smell the sweet grass growin’

Askin’ the sounds of summer
to sing like you

Don’t you know

I can’t stop lovin’ you?

[Chorus]

C’mon cricket legs!
C’mon lightnin’ bugs!

Sing the songs
that feel like summer love
to me

[Outro]

Blink for me, lightnin’ bugs
Sing for me, cricket legs

Give me
a reason
to love again

C’mon cricket legs!
C’mon lightnin’ bugs!

Sing the songs
that feel like love

[Post-Outro– wordless vocal fill]

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOoooooOoooOoooo

Heyyy heyyy heyyy ooooOOOOoooooo

ooooOOOOoooHHHH

ooooOOOOooooHHHH

OooOOOOoooHHHH

oooOOOooooHHHH

OOooooOOOhhhh
