Ants

Long ago on a weekend trip South Padre Island Spent the day looking at birds with my grama and grampa Forest Pocket In the trees Sitting’ on Benches Silent Jumpers All around us Back at the hotel Walking Fritzy on the Beach You were smoking With your friends You squeaked and kissed my dog You said “Come hang with us tonight…” [Chorus] Jumped early in your car… Tied the Race With you on the Beach… Under the light of the moon Embers of the morning light.. Fire burned out in the night… Tire Tracks now… Where you once were… Hope you found Your Happiness That night I wondered out to the beach Fire Burning High We were drinking hard You took me back… To your car Jumped too soon My face was red.. You still burning hot “It's ok”, is what you said Other things… That we can do… [Chorus] Jumped early in your car… Tied the Race With you on the Beach… Under the light of the moon Embers of the morning light.. Fire burned out in the night… Tire Tracks now… Where you once were… Hope you found Your Happiness Under the moon… Further down the beach… You talked of your life back at home Dad was always angry Mom was always drunk You couldn’t wait To leave that town I got your number We parted ways… I stumbled to the hotel pool Pretend to lounge In the morning sun Said I woke up early For a swim [Chorus] Jumped early in your car… Tied the Race With you on the Beach… Under the light of the moon Embers of the morning light.. Fire burned out in the night… Tire Tracks now… Where you once were… Hope you found Your Happiness We met up throughout the years Lost touch… Went our separate ways You met somebody Had some kids I went to college Life moves on… [Chorus] Jumped early in your car… Tied the Race With you on the Beach… Under the light of the moon Embers of the morning light.. Fire burned out in the night… Tire Tracks now… Where you once were… Hope you found Your Happiness
