Down by the Sea

I quit walking the floor
I quit locking my door
I quit working so hard I can't see
I'm down on the coast
And I'm making the most
And this is where I will be

The palms sway, my guitar plays
My monkey will stay in his tree
Got my friends by my side
I'm riding the tide
And this is where I will be

I don't have to drive,
I've got no nine-to-five
My office is down by the sea
I don't have to think,
So I'll have one more drink
And this is where I will be

The palms sway, my guitar plays
My monkey will stay in his tree
Got my friends by my side
I'm riding the tide
And this is where I will be

Well, I quit having rage
I quit rattling my cage
I'm turning the page
Can't you see?
I'm down on the coast
I’m making the most
And this is where I will be

The palms sway, my guitar plays
My monkey will stay in his tree
Got my friends by my side
I'm riding the tide
And this is where I will be

Hangin’ down by the sea (2x)
