Am F C

I like the way this salty, warm breeze feels

As I make another cast with this old rod and reel

From the tone of your letter

Am I doing okay?

I guess you could say

I'm keeping my head above water

On the deck of this old saltwater lady

F G C

Dancin' 'cross the waves

The seaside world slows down to an idle

The sun sets red over Copano Bay

You moved on with your life in California

Just another anchor around me weighing me down that

I don't need anymore
