Fort Pickens Road Lyrics

she looked over at me from the passanger,
said i just need some peace and quiet
been too damn busy being everything i miss how we rode around and sang
all them songs from the 90s
said i need to get away if thats ok
ive been twisted and tired and need a break the most
said no worries here ill take u where its clear
you can watch the stars and drink some beer right off the coast
down on, fort pickens road

the hurricane cut it short in 2004
and its more like a wall than it is a fort, but thats ok
we took pictures at the cross with sand between our feet
nearly ran over a drunk leaving peg leg petes, but he got away
opened up the sunroof let her hair fly grippin my hand
as we headed for that dead end sign
said me and my friends used to party here back in the day
after capt funs closed me and my friends would stay
down on, fort pickens road

you can blame it on the hurricane or the way she smiled when she said my name
with sand between her toes
she was happy as she could be cuz she couldnt keep her hands off me
and she let herself go
down on, fort pickens road

she jumped out the truck and ran down the pier
i tried to catch her but i forgot the beer so i turned around
she screamed now i see where i rank i said i paid 20 bucks
and we're gonna drank so we chugged one down
she told im the best thing in this town
i told her shes the best i can get right now and she pushed me in the sand
we play fought till 3 am i held her close and watched the wave hit the sand
and i dropped the L word
she said no baby i dont wanna leave just hold me tight till i fall asleep
this is the best play on earth

you can blame it on the hurricane or the way she smiled when she said my name
with sand between her toes
she was happy as she could be cuz she couldnt keep her hands off me
and she let herself go
down on, fort pickens road

she swore to me she'll never forget this night, how the moon was all we had for a light
and she lit that cigarette
i said ill always keep you close funny how theres romance in a dead end road
oh ill never forget

you can blame it on the hurricane or the way she smiled when she said my name
with sand between her toes
she was happy as she could be cuz she couldnt keep her hands off me
and she let herself go
down on, fort pickens road
