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 coastline
Under the white line atop the blue tides
But I aint ever been baptized in water as cool as you
And the law don’t never 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
Cuz you’re the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
The stars in St. Louis ain’t burning as bright as you
You’re the waves crashing down on the eastern coast
When the day’s cooling off and the summertimes close
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
We’d always ride those backroads
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 tanline on your forehead
So the tourists didn’t know
Cuz you’re the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
The stars in St. Louis ain’t burning as bright as you
You’re the waves crashing down on the eastern coast
When the day’s cooling off and the summertimes close
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
My blood rush to the heart you were my last hope
And the law don’t never come back here
And I reckon they don’t try
I just put some beer on ice
And tonight I’m dancing for two
