THE BEACH LIFE (Tony Joe White)

They say you reach a point in your life when you take a little break
Everything is cool, all your debts are paid
I came sliding into fifty, thought I was safe
But they counted me out, said you missed third base
So I took a little trip down by the ocean, put it all on the shelf
The beach life – you can find yourself
You got good intentions of getting in shape
But it’s kinda like the postcards you never send
And there’s a sense of freedom, but it rolls out on the waves
And Jonathan still rules the wind
There is something in the air that you never seem to grasp
The beach life – it’s a gas
The kids go about their business, castles in the sand
And the parasail boy he waits for clearance
And on down the beach the student body was working on their tan
They don’t want no outside interference
And the credit cards flash in the sun, no one hunts the shade
The beach life – you got it made
Then it’s back tot he grind with your life on time
You put away your cut off jeans, and Marguaritaville is just a dream.
