City lights and smoky haze

I've been trapped inside for days

And I don't know how I got here

All I know is I've just got to disappear

My boss told me too bad son

You've got to work, it ain't supposed to be fun

It's just the way that it is

We've all been there before

The thing is man, well damn, I want more

I miss the Carolina coastline

How that Outer Banks sun shines

The taste of salt on the air

The wind in my hair

Rolling down 421

I miss the smell of the ocean breeze

The feel of sand under my feet

The sound of waves on the shore

I'm longing for more

But life's a beach

I've been lost here in this daydream

Staring at this computer screen

And I don't have a clue

What any of this shit means

I just wanna hit delete, start something new

Walk out of this building quick

Hit the road and don't ever look back

I already know, just where I'll go

Where my spirit's high

And hell, so am I

I miss the Carolina coastline

How that Outer Banks sun shines

The taste of salt on the air

The wind in my hair

Rolling down 421

I miss the smell of the ocean breeze

The feel of sand under my feet

The sound of waves on the shore

I'm longing for more

But life's a beach

I don't want to go

I don't want to go back to reality

I just want to live my life free

I miss the Carolina coastline

How that Outer Banks sun shines

The taste of salt on the air

The wind in my hair

Rolling down 421

I miss the smell of the ocean breeze

The feel of sand under my feet

The sound of waves on the shore

I'm longing for more

But life's a beach

I love the Carolina coastline

How that Outer Banks sun shines

The taste of salt on the air

The wind in my hair

Rolling down 421

I need the smell of the ocean breeze

The feel of sand under my feet

The sound of waves on the shore

I'm longing for more

But life's a beach, and then you die.
