🎸 SOUL SISTERS
By Chookstar
⸻
🎶 INTRO
(Acoustic fingerpicking, light stomp percussion)
Thirteen years old, Prairiewood girls
Hair tied up, big dreams, wild world
⸻
VERSE 1
Met you in the old school yard
Blazers on, laughing hard
Prairiewood days in the blazing sun
Didn’t know then we’d just begun
Stockies was our afternoon
Shopping centre, living too soon
Grab a drink, walk the streets
Ride our bikes with scraped up knees
Head to mates’ place, music loud
Talking ‘bout boys we weren’t allowed
First crush, first kiss, shaky hands
Bestie love no one understands
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
Every day an adventure callin’
If we tripped, we weren’t fallin’
Side by side through every phase
You and me in reckless days
⸻
🌊 CHORUS
Oh Kel, you’re my rock, my ride or die
Through every tear and every high
From Stockies lights to Marconi nights
We chased those dreams under neon lights
Oh Kel, you’re my home away
No matter how far we drift or stray
Time can move but it won’t erase
The fire we built in that old hood place
Soul sisters, you and me
Roots run deep like memory
No matter where this life may twist
You’re forever on my list
⸻
VERSE 2
Marconi nights, our first big scene
Dressed up tight, feeling seventeen
Snuck in laughs, cheap champagne
Radio wins, VIP insane
Endless nights, sunrise skies
Back at school with tired eyes
Then life pulled us separate ways
Different towns, different days
You in Cairns with ocean air
Me slingin’ pizzas without a care
Two worlds spinning far apart
But never once outta my heart
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
Years went by but fate had plans
Found you again through MySpace scans
Clicked that friend request like fate
Some bonds never separate
⸻
🌊 CHORUS
Oh Kel, you’re my rock, my ride or die
Through every low and every high
From club lights bright to babies’ cries
You’re family now, that’s no surprise
Oh Kel, you’re my chosen kin
Through every loss and every win
Different lands but same old flame
Bestie love don’t change its name
Soul sisters, side by side
Across the ocean, across the tide
Distance fades when love is strong
Our story keeps rolling on
⸻
VERSE 3 (Softer, emotional)
Then you married, baby in arms
I moved in close to share your calm
Stu and Chloe, heart grew wide
My second home right by your side
Now you’re gone to UK skies
Distance sits behind my eyes
I book those flights, I chase that plane
Europe roads, love remains
Cruise ship decks and foreign air
Laughing like we’re still back there
And when I leave, I always say
Next adventure’s on its way
⸻
🌊 FINAL CHORUS (Bigger, layered harmonies)
Oh Kel, you’re my rock, my light
Through every season, wrong or right
From Prairiewood streets to London rain
Soul sisters never break that chain
Oh Kel, wherever you roam
You’ll always be my heart’s second home
New adventures still to come
Soul sisters — we’re not done
⸻
OUTRO (Soft, intimate)
Love you, bestie…
Soul sisters forever.
