Old Beach Town

Verse:
Just look at those stars tonight
You know lately they don't shine as bright
In the glow of these city lights
Like they once did

Yeah it's crazy but I'm thinking
That maybe there's a reason
Why lately I've been dreaming
Of you and I just leaving
These crowded days, for a little space

Chorus:
Let's trade these traffic lights
For a stretch of boardwalk
Get lost inside a Springsteen song
Kick off our cares n' watch the sun sink down
In an old beach town

Verse 2:
Still think about that Summer kiss
A little taste of ocean on your lips
The tide was pullin' my hands from your hips,
But I was never letting go, NO Oh

My heart was thump thumpin'
Our toes were dug dug in
I knew that we had somethin'
And my world need nothin'
But a sandy breeze, baby let's take a two weeks, and

Chorus 2:
Trade these traffic lights
For a stretch of boardwalk
Get lost inside a Buffet song
Shake a little salt n' throw a couple down
In an old beach town

Bridge:
We can rent a little bungalow hideaway along the coast
Leave our footprints in the sand and watch em wash way,
And just let go, just let go ---

Chorus 3:
We'll trade these traffic lights
For a stretch of boardwalk
Get lost inside our own love song
Make a little love in the middle of the afternoon

Ooh baby

We'll drink all night n' sleep all day
Let our sails out and just drift away
Kick off our cares and watch the sun sink down
In an old beach town
