LAST GO AROUND

It's August by the ocean
The summer on the dunes
The sun is running barefoot
Across the afternoon
There's kids out in the water
Kites up in the air
You lean down and kiss me
And it's too much to bear
I feel so good
And happy
And maybe something more profound
Like it's my last go around
Hey didn't you say you had a past life
Maybe three or four
Well this must be my last life, aha
'Cos I've got the Jersey shore
Crabs here in the cooler, aha
Cold beer in the tank
You to sleep beside me
And I've got you to thank
For feeling good
And happy
With my both feet on the ground
Must by my last go around
Must be my last
Must be my last go around
A little supper in the kitchen
A quiet cigarette, yeah
Oh life is truly suffering, misery and pain, hey
A little stroll along the water, mm
Down where the sand is cool and wet
And I'll be leaving it to the seagulls to complain, yeah
So let's take a picture baby, yeah
This is as good as it gets
Moon rising in the twilight
Just as the red sun sets, mm-hmm
Silver of a jetstream
Bleeds across the blue, aha
Someone's bound for Paris
I pity them, I do
Look at that roll, the ocean
Oh listen to the sound
Says it's my last go around
Says it's my last
Says it's my last go around
Says it's my last
This is my last go around, yeah yeah yeah
