LITTLE BIG TOWN LYRICS | We Went To The Beach

We Went To The Beach Lyrics

We went to the beach

Every year, the middle of June

We crammed into that Astro van

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?"

Well, it was double beds

With a kitchenette

Bedspreads of sea-foam green

It was sunburns and taking turns

On boogie boards we'd bring

Even if we spent every single cent to stay across the street

We went to the beach

We mowed a few yards

I filled a coffee can with some Benjamins

Just a couple of friends

Just barely seventeen

And we went to the beach

And in the middle of March

We put real life starts and partied so hard

We could barely remember a thing

It was PBRs and tiki bars

Don't take my fake I.D

It was cigarettes, girls we just met

And making out on lifeguard seats

And those polaroids of me and the boys is all the proof I need

And we went to the beach

Girl, don't you hate to leave

It's been one hell of a week

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 only get one of these

And we went to the beach

We went to the beach

We went to the beach

We went to the beach
