Ocean Light, Heavy Nights

INTRO Yeah Windows down, worries gone Southbound, one-way ticket GRANDWOLF NOISE, you hear it comin’? (wolf howl) CHORUS I need a vacation, yeah I’m out the way Sun hittin’ my skin, South Beach on the way Sand in my boots, but the bankroll safe Night don’t sleep, we just levitate I need a vacation, yeah I’m gone tonight City been heavy, need ocean light From the backroad stress to the neon wave Yeah, I need a—yeah, I need a vacation VERSE 1 Clock been talkin’ crazy, bills been loud Same damn loop, need to break that now Work-week grind got a death-grip hold I’m too young to be this old Threw my phone in the console, don’t care who mad Cheap shades on, money feelin’ un-bad Plane touch down, feel the bass in the air 305 heat got me losin’ my breath Palm trees lean like they know my name Ocean so blue it erase my pain Truck back home, but the keys still mine I just traded dirt roads for a shoreline vibe PRE-CHORUS Whole year on my shoulders, let it slide off slow Salt in the air, let the stress let go If I disappear, you know where I went Left the weight of the world in the boarding pen CHORUS I need a vacation, yeah I’m out the way Sun hittin’ my skin, South Beach on the way Sand in my boots, but the bankroll safe Night don’t sleep, we just levitate I need a vacation, yeah I’m gone tonight City been heavy, need ocean light From the backroad stress to the neon wave Yeah, I need a—yeah, I need a vacation VERSE 2 She tan-line perfect, white tee, gold chain Said she love my drawl, say it sound insane I buy one round, turn to four real quick Now we toastin’ life with a lime and twist DJ play somethin’ country-trap loud 808 shake, make the floor bend down I don’t dance much but the night say try Couple bad decisions feelin’ real alright Sun go down, city come alive Same stress gone, I ain’t askin’ why If tomorrow calls, tell it hold that thought I’m busy forgettin’ everything I fought PRE-CHORUS Whole year on my shoulders, let it slide off slow Salt in the air, let the stress let go If I disappear, you know where I went Left the weight of the world in the boarding pen CHORUS I need a vacation, yeah I’m out the way Sun hittin’ my skin, South Beach on the way Sand in my boots, but the bankroll safe Night don’t sleep, we just levitate I need a vacation, yeah I’m gone tonight City been heavy, need ocean light From the backroad stress to the neon wave Yeah, I need a—yeah, I need a vacation BRIDGE No watch, no plans, just time to kill If peace had a sound, it feel like this Ocean talk back when the speakers knock Heart slow down when the bass line drop Might send a postcard, might stay a while If I don’t text back, just know I’m fine FINAL CHORUS I need a vacation, yeah I’m gone-gone From the red dirt grind to the break of dawn Barefoot livin’ with my mind on mute Just me, that view, and a drink too smooth I need a vacation, yeah I chose my lane Left my stress in another time-zone frame If I don’t come back, don’t take it wrong I just found myself where the nights stay warm OUTRO Yeah… South Beach therapy Same me—lighter weight I’ll be back… maybe
