CHORUS: LIFE'S A BEACH, SO LIVE YOUR LIFE, 'CAUSE THERE'S NO REASON, TO
WONDER WHY, 'CAUSE GOOD AND BAD TIMES, THEY COME AND GO,
SOMETIMES THE TIDE IS HIGH, SOMETIMES IT'S LOW, LIFE'S A BEACH, SO
LIVE YOUR LIFE, AND LIVE EACH DAY, UNTIL YOU DIE, 'CAUSE FRIENDS ARE
THERE FOR YOU, THROUGH THICK AND THIN, WHEN YOU'RE THE LAST IN
LINE AND WHEN YOU WIN
I REMEMBER, BACK IN THE DAYS, WHEN I WAS YOUNG, MY FRIENDS AND I, PLAYED
BASKETBALL AND HAD FUN, WE WOULD, STAY OUTSIDE ALL DAY 'TIL IT WAS NIGHT,
'CAUSE WHEN YOU'RE A KID IN THE SUMMER, EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT, AND SOME
KIDS LIKED BASEBALL, SO THEY WOULD PLAY IT, FROM JUNE UNTIL THE FALL, AND
WE WOULD PLAY ON THE SAND, DOWN AT THE BEACH, WHEN OUR FAMILIES TOOK
US THERE, AT THE END OF THE WEEK, EVERYTHING WAS LOVELY, EVERYTHING WAS
SWEET, NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD, THEN I START TO NOTICE GIRLS AND THEN I
TRY TO GET THEM, TO NOTICE ME, BUT I'M STILL TOO YOUNG, TO DO LIKE THE TEENS.
CHORUS
WHEN YOU'RE A TEENAGER, THINGS TEND TO COMPLICATE, YOU THINK ABOUT
GRADES MORE AND THE FIRST PERSON YOU DATE, WHAT DO GIRLS WANT?, HOW DO
YOU GIVE IT TO THEM?, HOW DO YOU FIT IN, WITH YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS?, SHOULD
YOU LISTEN TO THEM?, WHAT IS LOVE?, WHAT'S THE MEANING OF IT ALL?, SHOULD YOU
STARE AT THE PHONE ALL DAY?, SHOULD YOU CALL HER?, WHY IS IT HARDER, NOT TO
BE LATE, ON A SCHOOL NIGHT?, WILL YOU GET ANY SLEEP TONIGHT?, YOU'VE GOT
EXAMS TOMORROW AND MORE QUESTIONS SEEM TO FOLLOW, PROM, COLLEGE,
THOUGHTS ABOUT YOUR FUTURE, 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT A KID ANYMORE, THAT'S FOR
SHORE, BUT YOU'RE STILL NOT GROWN ENOUGH, TO LEAVE HOME.
CHORUS
guitar SOLO
I'M ALL GROWN UP NOW, STILL LIKE THE PRETTY GIRLS MORE, STILL BUY MY
COCONUT JUICE, AT THE PHIL. IMPORTS STORE, DON'T DELIVER PIZZAS FOR
CHANELLO'S ANYMORE, BUT I STILL LOVE TO CRUISE THE STREETS, OF VIRGINIA
BEACH AND MAYBE ONE DAY, I'LL PLAY SOME GOLF, OR TAKE A BOAT OFF THE
DOCKS, AT RUDEE INLET AND LET THE LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER ROLL, 'CAUSE I STILL
LIKE IT WHEN IT'S WARM, MORE THAN WHEN IT'S COLD, 'CAUSE THE GIRLS LOOK
HOT, ON ATLANTIC AVENUE AND I WANT A CUTIE, HANGING OUT AT THE BEACH TO,
COME WITH ME, TO THE VIRGINIA BEACH AMPHITHEATRe AND WE CAN HAVE A
NIGHT TO REMEMBER THAT...
