  • I'm gonna head down to the coast
    Where nothin' ever seems to matter
    You know I love it there the most
    When every piece of my world gets scattered

    Blue skies, green water
    White birds in the air
    Brown skin, blue collar
    And the wind blowin' in my hair

    And I wrote you this little note
    And I never even sent the letter
    But I still want you to know
    I found a place I feel a whole lot better withâ?¦

    Blue skies, green water
    White birds in the air
    Brown skin, blue collar
    And the wind blowin' in my hair

    Blue skies, green water
    White birds in the air
    Brown skin, blue collar
    And the wind blowin' in my hair

    I'm gonna leave my old winter coat
    And I won't even need a sweater
    I'm gonna sit out on a boat
    'Cause it's time for some sunny weather andâ?¦

    Blue skies, green water
    White birds in the air
    Brown skin, blue collar
    And the wind blowin' in my hair
