We Went To The Beach

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We went to the beach Every year, the middle of June We crammed into that Astrovan Tighter than a can of sardines And we went to the beach We fought in the back and Dad got mad And mama rolled the windows down "Y'all smell the salt of the beach?" [Chorus] Well, it was double beds with a kitchenette Bedspreads of seafoam green It was sunburns and takin' turns On boogie boards we'd bring Even if we spent every single cent To stay across the street We went to the beach [Verse 2] We mowed a few yards I filled a coffee can with some Benjamins Just a couple of friends barely seventeen We went to the beach And in the middle of March, before real life starts Partied so hard, we could hardly remember a thing [Chorus] It was PBRs and tiki bars Don't take my fake ID It was cigarettes, girls we just met Makin' out on lifeguard seats And those Polaroids of me and the boys Is all the proof I need We went to the beach [Post-Chorus] Oh, yeah [Bridge] (Ooh) Girl, don't you hate to leave? (Ooh) It's been one hell of a week [Chorus] It was a vow, to you too, "I do" Babe, can you believe? It was brand-new tans, brown-golden bands Of sand all in the sheets If I know you and me, we'll only get one of these When we went to the beach [Outro] And we went to the beach When we went to the beach We went to the beach
