about

AG's assignment for the week:
"I think everyone in the group is on the East Coast right? And probably sick of the cold by now! Write a song about being tired of the cold, or it could be looking forward to the change of seasons. I purposely want this assignment to be more open with room for interpretation. You can focus on the optimism of something new or the misery of the current state of cold. Have fun."

I do not love this song. I do not hate this song as much as I probably should. Your call.

lyrics

I was warm the other day
But I had to fly away
Now I'm stuck inside, it's just too damn cold
I was running in the sun
Now I've nearly come undone
Here's what I'm thinking, if I might be so bold

I wanna get back to the bar at the beach
I don't even mind the drum machines
Or that piña colada that's slightly out of reach
I wanna get back to the bar at the beach

I had a beer with Amie
Or was it Melissa, maybe?
But Lola was nowhere to be found
And there was lots of Buffett
But I decided not to hoof it
With my feet planted squarely on sandy ground

I wanna get back to the bar at the beach
I don't even mind the drum machines
Or that piña colada that's slightly out of reach
I wanna get back to the bar at the beach

I don't mind the humidity
It's not the heat, it's the stupidity
From sea to shining sea
That's where I want to be

I wanna get back to the bar at the beach
I don't even mind the drum machines
Or that piña colada that's slightly out of reach
I wanna get back to the bar
I might even take my guitar
I wanna get back to the bar at the beach
