Lyrics:

Let’s Make It Up As We Go Along
May 2026

I get the feeling we’ve been trying too hard
Thinkin’ too much, talkin’ too loud.
Let’s turn it down from eleven to one.
And make it up as we go along

I’ve had enough of this “reachin’ for stars”./ Let’s
put it to rest, it ain’t workin’ out. We’ve
given our best, it’s time to move on
and make it up as we go along. / I don’t

Chorus:
know how I know that the time is right/ to let
go of the past but to keep it in sight. /There’s a
whole lotta truth that’s hard to deny. E-/
nough to keep us talkin’ far into the night

instrumental verse:

Let’s start it over with a bottle of wine. Or
maybe a few an’ get sloppy and blind.
You show me yours an’ I’ll show you mine./ We’ll
misbehave as if nothin’ was wrong /an’
make it up as we go along
make it up as we go along
We’ll make it up as we
We’ll make it up as we
We’ll make it up as we go along

Comments by composer(s):

The motif for this song was provided by a phenomenal saxophone solo performed at the Schooner Tavern with Cornbread Harris’ band. I thought to myself he’s makin’ it up as he goes along. Ding! ding! ding!
