2023 Broadway
Shucked the Musical - Travelin' Song Lyrics

Music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally.

STORYTELLER 2: (spoken)
Determined to prove everyone wrong
Maizy packed her one good dress
And her two good virtues
And headed for the big, scary city!

STORYTELLER 1:
You take the truck

STORYTELLER 2:
You take the truck

STORYTELLER 1:
To the rock

STORYTELLER 2:
To the rock

BOTH:
By the ducks by the dock, aww

STORYTELLER 1:
Take a boat that'll float

STORYTELLER 2:
To a donkey to a horse

BOTH:
To a bull to a turkey to a goat

STORYTELLER 1:
And then you jump

STORYTELLER 2:
And then you jump

STORYTELLER 1:
You jump on the road

STORYTELLER 2:
You jump on the road

BOTH:
'Til it runs out of dirt

STORYTELLER 1:
By the Methodist Church

STORYTELLER 2:
By the Baptist Church

BOTH:
By the Church of Christ where she got baptized
In the whiskey river
Where there used
to be a barn before there was a twister

STORYTELLER 1:
It's a skip

STORYTELLER 2:
It's a skip

STORYTELLER 1:
Then a frog

STORYTELLER 2:
Then a frog

BOTH:
On a log to a great hound dog
Then a bus to a bus
And you might need to rush

STORYTELLER 1:
To an Uber to a train

STORYTELLER 2:
Got a ticket with your name

BOTH:
And we just touched down on a Southwest plane!

ENSEMBLE:
And we just touched down on a Southwest plane!
Oh!

MAIZY:
In Tampa
I came all the way through Nashville and Atlanta!
Do I send a postcard over pigeon back to grandpa?
Tell him everything is beautiful in Tampa?
In Tampa
Everyone's a Tina or a Tamara!
It's a bleach and platinum blonde extravaganza!
Yeah, everyone is beautiful in Tampa!

It's not at all (It's not at all)
What I've been told (What she's been told)
The sand is white (white), the sun is gold (gold)
And all the people are so old (People are so old)
Get a tan, take a stroll, and then dip your toe
In the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of Mexico)

And they all said (And they all said)
I'd lose my way (She'd lose her way)
That this was just a big mistake
But how could I go wrong with Chinese Food (Oh)
And frozen yogurt every day? (Tampa!)

STORYTELLER 1: (spoken)
Every day?

STORYTELLER 2: (spoken)
Every day?

ENSEMBLE:
Every single day!

MAIZY:
They've got a doctor for your face
And one to freeze the fat away

ENSEMBLE:
Freeze the fat away

MAIZY:
And one to help you with addictions

ENSEMBLE:
Help you, addictions

MAIZY & ENSEMBLE:
For afflictions such as porn
And one for corn!

MAIZY:
And one for corn!

MAIZY & ENSEMBLE:
And one for corn!

MAIZY:
In Tampa
Between the botox and the tannin' beds
In plasma
Now, there's a reason for another stanza!
And I really should've brought a camera
Some guy offered me some thing called mara-wahna
Seems that they've got everything

ENSEMBLE:
Ocean breeze is why we sing
Seems that we've got everything

MAIZY:
They've got everything

MAIZY & ENSEMBLE:
In Tampa!
