East in June
Trade the brightest greens of summer
For the dreams of navy blue
East in June
Leave the calm pacific breeze
For an atlantic rendezvous
'Cause I've been driving
For days on down a dusty road
Can't wait to dive in the waves
Can't wait to lighten my load
And as the Sun dips down I know
No matter where my body goes
Every road eventually
Leads me back home
I am gonna see
If I can get to Tennessee
And write a song about the sea
That we can sing along to
I am gonna see
If I can get to Tennessee
And write a song about the sea
To cure my landlocked blues
'Cause I've been driving
For days on down a dusty road
(We're gonna get there)
(We're gonna get back home)
Can't wait to dive in the waves
Can't wait to lighten my load
(We're gonna get back to the coast)
And as the Sun dips down I know (we know)
No matter where my body goes (we go)
Every road eventually
Leads me back home
(To the ocean we know)
Every road eventually
Leads me back home
To the ocean, to the ocean
My hearts tied to the coast
If I stay I'll be a ghost
You wouldn't like me anyway
To the ocean, to the ocean
I take my air with salt
I hear the wind and waves a-call
It's not my fault, it's DNA
'Cause that's the way it's got to go
When I drive back through Nashville
I'm gonna stop and say hello
Just long enough to write a song that will get me to Seattle
'Cause I've been driving
For days on down a dusty road
(We're gonna get there)
(We're gonna get back home)
Can't wait to dive in the waves
Can't wait to lighten my load
(We're gonna get back to the coast)
And as the Sun dips down I know (we know)
No matter where my body goes (we go)
Every road eventually
Leads me back home
(To the ocean we know)
Every road eventually
Leads me back home
