Life on a Sandbar by Lou Mancano

The is an original song with a reggae feel written for the summer season. The lyrics are below:
I smell the salty ocean air - the warm breeze blowing through my hair
And a calm comes over me - a calm comes over me
My tires touch the island bridge - a six-pack waitin' in the fridge
It's a new reality - our new reality
Bay water shimmers through my windows - a pair of seagulls float on by
Sand dunes and sailboats approaching in the distance
The ocean blue horizon meets the colors in the sky
We leave behind the seminars - and trade 'em in for mason jars
And fill 'em up with rum - 'till we're comfortably numb
Sun warms our bodies - hearts become revived
Footprints tracking through the sand and our spirits come alive

On a sandbar - off o' the radar
Lovin' it so far - a much slower pace
Life on a sandbar - a guy playin' guitar
Down at a beach bar - my kind o' place

Dip your toes from a folding chair - let your mind float you anywhere
When you got nowhere to go - you can watch the ebb and flow
Sun warms our bodies - hearts become revived
Footprints tracking through the sand and our spirits come alive

On a sandbar - off o' the radar
Lovin' it so far - a much slower pace
Life on a sandbar - a guy playin' guitar
Down at a beach bar - my kind o' place

Live everyday like it's your last -
Now is the time - become a wine enthusiast
The local pastime is chillin' at the beach
When you see the world from a parasail nothing's out of reach

On a sandbar - off o' the radar
Lovin' it so far - a much slower pace
Life on a sandbar - off o' the radar
Down at a beach bar - our kind o' place
On a sandbar - off o' the radar
Lovin' it so far - that slower pace
