lyrics

She’s a little unruly, might be the whiskey
Might just be the fact we’re on the Jersey shore
Flips off her flip flops, rolls up her jeans
First time she’s seen the ocean in years

2 in the morning, moonlit waves
She turns cartwheels on the shore
She meets the water with bare feet, laughing all the way
Sultry, salty, laughing girl

CHORUS:
She says it’s hard sometimes to hide the age around my eyes
I said the moonlight boardwalk hides them well

She beckons me to the water, moon across her lips
I hesitate but I follow her
Sandy-toed and starry-eyed, salt-soaked jeans
There’s sometime about this beach

Long past it’s heyday, abandoned amusement park
But tonight we saw it come to life
Now the boardwalk's broken down with beer-breath bums
But tonight we had a peek into the past

But like an old carnival ride, she does this little thing with her eyes.
Rolls them around like she’s surprised....
This Amusement park is alive.

She says it’s hard sometimes to hide the age around my eyes
But I said... “This amusement park is alive.”
