The Story
So I drove down from Michigan to Punta Gorda Florida to watch one of my favorite artists, Jesse Rice, play a show (in a park). Like most people who live in snow-covered, cold winters, I cherished every second of the warm Florida air and sandy beaches. As I'm nearing the age when I could possibly be a "snow-bird" I toured all over Florida for a couple weeks, trying to decide where I might make my winter home. And I realized, which town it was didn't really matter. What mattered is simply that I could find a place where I could walk on a beach every morning, and enjoy some great music at a tiki bar every night. The rest of the song kinda fell into place. If you ever happen to be listening to this, while you WALK ON THE BEACH, and it puts a smile on your face.... Mission Accomplished. I'll high five you as we pass.
Lyrics
Walk on the Beach I woke up this morning To alarm clock’s warning Tellin me I was late again I’m blaming this one On another late night Of laughing with my friends We even left early Cause we knew for surely That we’d have to go to work today If you ask me What I want This is what I say CHORUS I wanna walk On the beach Every morning with you I wanna soak Up the sun Every afternoon I wanna dance To the band At the local tiki bar As long as I’m with you And the ocean ain’t too far I wanna wake To the sound Of the waves crashing in I wanna splash In the water Like we did when we were kids I wanna feel That special feel Of the salt on my skin If you ask what I wanna do I wanna live the beachy life… with you Verse 2: Now I don’t Hate my life That’s not to say it couldn’t be better All I know Is that I smile A lot more when I’m hanging where it’s wetter And I know We can only go For a week or maybe two That’s okay Let’s go play Where the map turns blue Chorus x 1.5
