Well, I've had cold and humid mornings on City streets and back porches But I ain't never breathed a breath as fresh as you
And I've seen children playin' on the coastlines Under the white lines, atop the blue tides But I ain't ever been baptized in water as cool as you
And the law don't ever come back here, and I reckon they don't try I just put some beer on ice, let's just dance for a moment or two
'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too The stars in San Luis ain't burnin' bright as you You'rе the waves crashin' down on the Eastеrn Coast When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's close I lost faith in the world a long time ago
We'd always ride those back roads back when you got sick Roll the windows down just for the hell of it
You always acted baptized every time we hit the coast Bandana tan line on your forehead So the tourists didn't know
You're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too And the stars in San Luis ain't burnin' bright as you You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's close I lost faith in the world a long time ago
My blood rushed to the heart, you were my last hope
And the law don't ever come back here, and I reckon they don't try I just put some beer on ice And tonight I'm dancin' for two
