West Palm Beach Songtext
von Springtime

Yeah, I can′t get the sand out of my shoes
Being in Florida's done a number on my boots
Just the way the women they walk ′round here
You see it's plain as day the sun and sand have done a number on me

But the sky is threatening black and grey
And the sea it's a festering red
You see it in her eyes she′s laid up
She ain′t going nowhere
So breakfast again postponed 'til later won′t be fair

Yeah, the surface swallowed him up
He's a memory now
And the water is warmer than it has been for weeks
His granddad lives just down the road
She′s making supper for me tonight
She's been nice to me since ′73
When her son lost his life


Oh, but now his ghost is rising above the briny blue
And you would assume some maid would have made the grade
And then his soul captured her
And then he's still a fine kid after all he did
He's a friend of mine

Man, I was not expecting to spend so long in town
But the breaking weather′s really got my spirits down
And she can′t get up, she's shotgun
Seems she′s sworn to the sea
And it's a journey all tick that I′m yet to lick
And she's yet to be

And you see it in her eyes she was born white
She was born free
Yeah, you see it in her eyes she was born to lose
She was born like me
Yeah, you see it in her eyes she was born all white
She was born free
