Lyrics

A couple of young girls went
Sailing down A1A
Into the arms of Florida
Sailing down the highway
Singing their heads off
Protected by the Holy Ghost
Flying in from the ocean
Driving with their eyes closed
The night wants to kiss you
And be on his way
Pretend he don't know you
The very next day
Isn't it hard sometimes?
Isn't it lonely?
How I still hang around here
When there's nothing to hold me
You slide down into the sea
Twelve hours on your feet
Get the tide to wash you away
For thousands and thousands of days
Someone you never meet
Signs the check you get every week
You try and still can't forget
All the strangers that you met
The night never holds you
To nothing anyway
Makes promises that he never intends to keep
Every day
Isn't it hard sometimes?
Isn't it lonely?
How I still hang around here
When there's nothing to hold me
Every time, every year
The travelers come and go
You see them landing with their pale wings
Flying back to the snow
And the summer comes marching in
With his heavy boots on
Kicking along the blacktop
Sidewalks of A1A
Young girls in their bare feet
Cigarettes smoking
Looking every which way
Wishing and a-hoping
And you want the night
Just to let you sleep
And be on his way
Wrap you up in some cool sheets
And have nothing to say
Isn't it hard sometimes?
Isn't it lonely?
How I still hang around here
When there's nothing to hold me
Isn't it hard sometimes?
Isn't it lonely?
How I still hang around here
When there's nothing to hold me
