Carolina sun rays sinking on a south side pier

Cotton candy salty kisses and a couple stolen beers

Your tan lines were the map for my hands to find their way

And that empty lifeguard shack we watched our innocence fade

Caught in that beach blonde salt sand tide

Ferris wheel make our ride

Soaking the summer in copper tone glistening

Tracing the tattoos on your skin

One two three months fly

Like a blink in your blue eyes

Where young love rolls in fast as it rolls out

In beach town

Sneaking in and getting kicked out at the bay side pool

And watching your tee shirt drip dry

Middle of the night that was so damn cool

And sandals in your hands

Swaying to the beat of an off beat cover band

Spilling your drink making me sink

Deeper and deeper with every half drunk wink

In that beach box salt sand tide

Ferris wheel make our ride

Soaking the summer in copper tone glistening

Tracing the tattoos on your skin

One two three months fly

Like a blink in your blue eyes

Where young love rolls in fast as it rolls out

Florida state came calling

Your goodbye tears came falling

I said I don't want to go if you don't want to go

So we just kept on stalling

We kept on stalling

Caught in that beach blonde salt sand tide

Ferris wheel make our ride

Soaking the summer in copper tone glistening

Tracing the tattoos on your skin

One two three months fly

Like a blink in your blue eyes

Young love rolls in fast as it rolls out

Young love rolls in fast as it rolls out

In beach town

In beach town
