lyrics

Sandbar
Words and Music © 1999 Gary Snead and William Ramsey

When I'm out on the water and the temperature is hot,
Sometimes I'll turn the boat around and find my favorite spot,
The sea will turn from blue to green and I'll know I'm on the brink,
I'll find a place to drop the anchor and pour my favorite drink

Chorus:

It's just a watery speakeasy about waist deep no more,
It ain't got no bar stools but you can still see shore,
A place where friends can gather and hang from mast or spar,
You'll be your own bartender you'll own your own sandbar

I've watched the big ships cruising up and down the bay,
I've seen those cigarette boats they fly from cay to cay,
I get tired when I watch jet skiers hot dogging all their tricks,
I'll know it's time to find the bar and concoct my favorite mix

Chorus

Instrumental break

Well summertime is ending and autumn's drawing near,
It's time to put the boat away and stow my favorite gear,
But I'll be back next season when Springtime is in reach
. . . .

And find a place to drop the anchor just off my favorite beach

Chorus

Repeat last line three times to end
