To the Beach
I'm sitting in my house and my house is freezing,
It's seven below and the furnace is broken.
I look at my husband and he looks at me,
Our eyes are pleading, but not a word is spoken.
I know his mind and he knows mine,
We're both thinking exactly the same thought...
We don't belong here, we never have
What a lesson we're been taught.
People like us can't live in the cold
I knew when we moved here, I knew in my head
As soon as I laid eyes on this small hic town
I should have turned the car around and fled.
It feels so strange to be among these small town folk.
They don't really seem to know
How truely cold it is, and
their way of life is steady and slow.
We don't fit in, we don't belong,
But next winter we'll be far away
To the beach, to the beach, to the beach we'll move
In the Sunshine State we'll stay.
