Coastal Blues

Foggy weather
Seaside scenic view
Sandy leather,
Salt soaked seats
For two

I look in the rearview mirror
And never seen any clearer
Every turnoff, a ghost
Raise your glass for a toast
Life starts new up the coast
But we'll send you a post

Late night front desk,
What's your cheapest room?
Eyelids heavy
Running just on fumes

I look in the motel mirror,
The sandman is drawing nearer,
Changing out of our clothes,
You tell me we're getting close
Life starts new up the coast
But we'll send you a post

Christmas lights in Carmel
And Salinas is swell
Can we just keep driving darling?

Up the one, we're northbound
A lighthouse off the sound
Can we just keep driving til we're found?

Roadside stranded
Left front tire blew
No reception
Nothing's going through

And no other cars are passing
I look over and you're laughing
You say we hedged our bets
And I've got no regrets
We both needed the dose
And we got it, almost
