Simple Times - Sand From My Flip Flops

I remember my first trip to the ocean
Sticking my toes in the sand
I remember swimming with the dolphins
And feeding fish out of my hand
I remember riding on a sailboat
Where I couldn't see dry land
It seems my life was put in motion
But things didn't go as planned
Twenty years later in a high-rise
I'm searching for the deep blue sea
But all I see are other buildings
And people staring back at me
I want to see that beautiful ocean
And feel the sand beneath my feet
Dreaming about that long lost notion
Sailing in the Florida Keys
You can shake the sand from my flip flops
But you can't shake it from my soul
You can put me in a concrete jungle
But you can't tell me how to roll
You can make me wear a suit and tie
But I'll hate it every day I'm alive
You can shake the sand from my flip flops
But you can't shake it from my soul
Well I'm done with riding elevators
The walls keep closing in
I can't see past all the concrete
The sidewalks never end
I'm on my way to sandy beaches
And sippin ritas with my friends
Sailing off into the sunset
Never looking back again
You can shake the sand from my flip flops
But you can't shake it from my soul
You can put me in a concrete jungle
But you can't tell me how to roll
You can make me wear a suit and tie
But I'll hate it every day I'm alive
You can shake the sand from my flip flops
But you can't shake it from my soul
All I want to do is ponder
Where on earth my feet will wonder
All the beaches I will saunter
Looking out over that deep blue water
You can shake the sand from my flip flops
But you can't shake it from my soul
You can put me in a concrete jungle
But you can't tell me how to roll
You can make me wear a suit and tie
But I'll hate it every day I'm alive
You can shake the sand from my flip flops
But you can't shake it from my soul
You can shake the sand from my flip flops
But you can't shake it from my soul
