v1:
They say you don't need music on the beach,
but I can't see how it hurts
I wanted to try the surfboard one more time,
but someone got there first
-----
And all the days, then nights, then mornings become a beautiful blur
We got nothing to prove, but nothing to lose
Yeah, that's how this thing works
ch:
It's not the Litchfield sand
No, that ain't the draw
It's just like any other beach down here
I reckon that's all
It's not the Black River tide
But that's the background, of course
For the 2am wine club on Billy's back porch
-----
And if you're wondering what keeps bringing us back again
It's the promise of rock & roll
and low country friends
v2:
If I'm honest, I love loading up the van
and pointing it straight south
200 miles of thin white dashes
through every small Carolina town
-----
And we know for a fact the Emergency Room is dependable & true
We might fall down, but we'll try again
That ain't nothing new
ch:
It's not the Litchfield sand
No, that ain't the draw
It's just like any other beach down here
I reckon that's all
It's not the Black River tide
But that's the background, of course
For the 2am wine club on Billy's back porch
-----
And if you're wondering what keeps bringing us back again
It's the promise of rock & roll
and low country friends
- solo -
And all the days, then nights, then mornings become a beautiful blur
We got nothing to prove, but nothing to lose
Yeah, that's how this thing works
ch:
It's not the Litchfield sand
No, that ain't the draw
It's just like any other beach down here
I reckon that's all
It's not the Black River tide
But that's the background, of course
For the 3am wine club on Billy's back porch
-----
And if you're wondering what keeps bringing us back again
You are just who you are, no need to pretend
It's the promise of rock & roll
and low country friends
