Beachfront Paradise Lyrics

Guess this old town, it ain't much to see
This time of year when the tourist all leave
And that north wind blows, and all the hotels close
I came here several years ago
Thought I'd stay for a week or so
Man, I guess I was wrong. I fell in love and I never went home.

(1st Chorus)
I finally got out of the fast lane, I didn't even think twice.
Now I'm taking life one wave at a time from a beachfront paradise.

There's a bar on the ocean drive
I play there every Friday night
Just me and my guitar, living off this old tip jar
I heard the stories that sailors told
About old pirates who search for gold
Spent their life living free, wind up dying out on the sea.

(2nd Chorus)
When this old world starts to spinning too fast, I put all my troubles on ice And I take life one wave at a time from a beachfront paradise.

Throw back another tall bottle of rum
Breathe in that thick salty air
Weather man says there's a storm rolling in
But nobody here seems to care.

I think back to when I was young
Dreamin' ‘bout what I might become
Figured I'd see the world and settle down with a dark haired girl
I hear the rain as it's coming down
Wind blowing the sand around
I think I'll just sit right here, kick back ‘til the sky turns clear.

(3rd Chorus)
Well, I don't care much ‘bout the weather, though a little bit of sun would be nice
And I take life one wave at a time, from a beachfront paradise
Yeah I take like one wave at a time, from a beachfront paradise
