"Here We Go" Lyrics:

Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go   
Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go    

Today is gonna be great 
Sunshine, clouds can wait 
You can, come along       
With me, cause you belong       
Say hello, a brand new day 
Jump right in, it'll be okay 
Buckle up, you've got what it takes  

Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go 
Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go  
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go  

When life has got you down 
Look up, keep moving on 
Don’t stop, cause green means go 
It’s time you let them know 
All the things you want to do  
Reach out for it, and just follow through
Spinning around, proving the world ain't flat

Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go 
Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go 

(Saxophone Solo)Here we go

Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go 
Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go  
Here we go, Here we go  

Here we go go go go go, Here we go go go go go 
Here we go go go go go, Here we go

Here We Go

"A Window Seat" lyrics:

A little red suitcase goes underneath
Riding a Badger bus to Milwaukee
Cows and horses, green scenery
To Goerkes Corner the stop, in between
Billboards about praying
All the signs I read and hear just what they're saying
Ain't it sweet
Getting life advice from a window seat

'Cause you can make a trip a dozen times
Never see it all with your two eyes
It doesn’t matter if you travel alone
'Cause there’s more than one place to call home
Wave when you get there, goodbye when you leave
Just make sure that ya grab a window seat

An old familiar yellow barn
Looks like fun living on a farm
The park-n-ride isn’t very far
Just over the hill with all the cars
Someone's waiting
Sit back, enjoy the ride anticipating
Every time
To view again from the other side

'Cause you can make a trip a dozen times
Never see it all with your two eyes
It doesn’t matter if you travel alone
'Cause there’s more than one place to call home
Wave when you get there, goodbye when you leave
Just make sure that ya grab a window seat

You can make a trip a dozen times
Never see it all with your two eyes
It doesn’t matter if you travel alone
'Cause there’s more than one place to call home
Wave when you get there, goodbye when you leave
Just make sure that ya grab a window seat
Wave when you get there, goodbye when you leave
Just make sure that ya grab a window seat

"Little Sure Shot" lyrics:

My arrow’s aimed at the bullseye
Sunsets make it hard to see
But I’ve still got plenty of time
And nothing's pointing back at me
Staring over isn’t easy
A fresh start never feels the same
Looking forward to a new beginning
Thinking back I remember her name

Little sure shot, little sure shot, Annie Oakley
Little sure shot, give it your best shot
Be the best that you can be
It’s a wild wild west that we’re living in
Is the world ready for me?
I’m my best shot, I’ll show you what I’ve got
Like Annie Oakley

I draw back, keep one eye open
If I could I’d make time slow
Hit the mark every time
See my name on the marquee lights glow

Like little sure shot, little sure shot, Annie Oakley
Little sure shot, give it your best shot
Be the best that you can be
It’s a wild wild west that we’re living in
Is this world ready for me?
I’m my best shot, I’ll show you what I’ve got
Like Annie Oakley

Little sure shot, little sure shot, Annie Oakley
Little sure shot, give it your best shot
Be the best that you can be
It’s a wild wild west that we’re living in
On your mark get ready set go me
I’ll show you what I’ve got
Like little sure shot, Annie Oakley

“Back In the Saddle" lyrics:

Tightening up the reins 
Kicking up dust to steer
You’re not looking for another route
But need the fog to clear
You’ve been off course before
Had your share of falls
For good luck a rusty horseshoe
Is hanging on the wall

Get back in the saddle today
After a long ride home yesterday
Get back in the saddle and try your best
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
And let the horse do the rest

Life can throw you off course
Of a smooth trail ride for sure
But if it gets rough and a little bumpy
Then it's time for a detour
If you're off the beaten path
That don't mean you're not on course
Your journey is just the scenic route
And you're on your own tour de force

Get back in the saddle today
After a long ride home yesterday
Get back in the saddle and try your best
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
And let the horse do the rest

North, south, east or west
Listen to the compass inside your chest
'Cause you ain't got far
Just follow your north star

And get back in the saddle today
After a long ride home yesterday
Get back in the saddle and try your best
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
And let the horse do the rest

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
And let the horse do the rest

Everything is evergreen

Cause it’s everywhere
Everything is evergreen

Celebrating to believe
That goodwill, peace and harmony
Will bring us hope and good cheer

"Carry On" Lyrics:

She taught me how to spell Mississippi
Twirling my hair she’d say how pretty
She loved to talk, hardly stop for a pause
She’d call me up, just to ask how I was
And say…

Carry on, Keep your chin up honey
Not everyone’s gonna love you like me
Carry on, carry on honey
Life’s short, lay back, float
Carry on, carry on honey
Nice things take time, so carry on

I’d visit her coming down from the city
Missing her voice, told her she looked pretty
She had no words, but she smiled anyway
I already knew just what she would say

Carry on, keep your chin up honey
Not everyone’s gonna love you like me
Carry on, carry on honey
Life’s short, lay back, float
Carry on, carry on honey
Nice things take time, so carry on

She’d say… Hi oh! Hi oh! E nee, Me nee, E chy Peachy, Why oh!

Carry on, keep your chin up honey
Not everyone’s gonna love you like me
Carry on, carry on honey
Life’s short, lay back, float

Carry on, keep your chin up honey
Not everyone’s gonna love you like me
Carry on, carry on honey
Life’s short, lay back just float
Carry on, carry on honey
Nice things take time, so carry on

"Through It All" Lyrics:

My cup was half full, but I was running on empty
I couldn’t see how I’d ever have plenty, enough
But no matter my worries big or small
I looked for a way to climb over the walls

I just keep going if I stumble and fall
Just keep going, like there’s nothing to lose at all
I try to make it better, and always stand tall
If I keep going, I can get through it all

You came along everything changed
My world opened up, completely rearranged
I have a reason, a stronger why
To go for these dreams of mine before this ship passes by

But you gotta keep going if you stumble and fall
Just keep going, like there’s nothing to lose at all
You make it better, always stand tall	     
If you keep going, you can get through it, through it…

When we look back at how far we’ve come
Better not stop there, better run run run!

We need to keep going if we stumble and fall
Just keep going, so we don’t lose it all
Together we’re better, so we can always stand tall
If we keep going, we can get through it all

"Something New" Lyrics:

Gonna give back these hand-me-downs 
Folded on my bed
Don’t want worn out dreams where I put my tired head
I appreciate ‘em, but I’m through
Borrowed things make me blue

I want something new, I’m feeling faded        		
I wanna reboot, to be updated
With a thing or two, not just make do
I want something new, something that’s all mine
Shiny and bright would fit me just fine
Gonna snatch me up something new
So I can walk a mile in my own shoes

Well there’s nothing wrong with something old 
But every now and then
Why settle for three or six, when I wanna be a ten
Love who I am, thank the Lord
For helping me find what I’m looking for
 
I want something new, I’m feeling faded           		
I wanna reboot, to be updated
With a thing or two, not just make do
I want something new, something that’s all mine
Shiny and bright would fit me just fine
Gonna snatch me up something new
So I can walk a mile in my own shoes
  		
It’s my time to be me, gonna make it seem easy
Just like it’s meant to be
 
I want something new, I’m feeling faded           		
I wanna reboot, to be updated
With a thing or two, not just make do
I want something new, something that’s all mine
Shiny and bright would fit me just fine
Gonna snatch me up something new
So I can walk a mile, make up my own style
You know what makes me smile?
Something new

"This Song's for You" Lyrics:

If I could read your mind I’d write you a song
All the words in your heart, so that you could sing along
‘Cause I know it’s hard at the end of the day
To find someone to listen, when there’s not a lot to say

This song’s for you, when no one is singing your song
This song’s for you, when you wanna hum along  	
This song’s for you, especially when you need it the most
When you wanna push it off until tomorrow
And just sit back and coast
And I can’t read your mind, but if I could
I’m sure you really want to be understood          	            
This song’s for you my darling, and only you 
This song’s for you

Life moves so fast, like it’s always a race
You wanna get to the goal, but it’s all about the pace
If it ever gets to be a little too much
Just stop, close your eyes and soak it all up

This song’s for you, when no one is singing your song
This song’s for you, when you wanna hum along  	
This song’s for you, especially when you need it the most
When you wanna push it off until tomorrow 
And just sit back and coast
And I can’t read your mind, but if I could
I promise to you that you’ll be understood          	            
This song’s for you my darling, and only you 
This song’s for you

This song’s for you, when no one is singing your song
This song’s for you, when you wanna hum along  	
This song’s for you, especially when you need it the most
When you wanna push it off until tomorrow 
And just sit back and coast
And I can’t read your mind, but if I could
I promise to you that you’ll be understood          	            
This song’s for you my darling, and only you 
This song’s for you

This Song's for You

Annie Lynn picked up a songwriting book in a used book store, taught herself to play guitar from an old cassette tape, and less than six months later played her first open mic at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee playing "Carry On." The next day she recorded it at the Ryman Auditorium and two years later released a re-recorded version, her first single, "Carry On" in 2020. Her motto: Make it an adventure!
