AMERICA - COASTLINE lyrics

rate me

Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1980

Found on Alibi.

I drive to the coastline

Looking for visual pleasures to catch my eye

The sun turns around hits me on the shoulder

I fly away

Due to the situation this morning

All in the world's OK

I head down Sunset north to Santa Barbara

We sail away

I could live in the walls of a prison

Where the warm summer winds would never blow

Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side)

And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know

I must have spent a lifetime as a sailor

Sailin' the ocean blue

But every single waterway leads to you

To you

I could live in the walls of a prison

Where the warm summer winds would never blow

Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side)

And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know

I'm headin' out over an ocean of blue

The trailin' wake far behind

Won't turn me down

And it won't turn me around

I could live in the walls of a prison

Where the warm summer winds would never blow

Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side)

And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know
