  • She had a cross around her neck
    And a flower in her hand
    That I picked from the side of Thomas Drive
    On our way to the sand
    We found an old wooden chair
    Still warm from the sun
    Pushed it back, gave me a kiss with Bacardi on her lips
    And I was done

    And we spent that week wide open
    Upside down beside the ocean
    I didn't know where it was goin'
    Just tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
    I should've known that kind of feelin'
    Would last longer than that week did
    Blown away and barely breathin'
    Sunday came and it was over
    Now she's got me twisted
    Like an old beach roller coaster

    The rest of those days
    Turned into long crazy nights
    When the music got loud
    We'd sneak away from the crowd under the boardwalk lights
    And with all the things we said
    What I just can't get past
    Is the way we let it end
    Now I'm wonderin' where she is
    Knowin' I can't get that goodbye back

    And we spent that week wide open
    Upside down beside the ocean
    I didn't know where it was goin'
    Just tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
    I should've known that kind of feelin'
    Would last longer than that week did
    Blown away and barely breathin'
    Sunday came and it was over
    Now she's got me twisted
    Like an old beach roller coaster

    She's like a song playin' over and over
    In my mind, where I still hold her
    I had the chance and I should've told her

    When we spent that last week wide open
    Upside down beside the ocean
    I should've known where it was goin'
    Still tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
    And I should've known that kind of feelin'
    Would last longer than that week did
    Blown away and barely breathin'
    When Sunday came and it was over
    Now she's got me twisted, yeah, I'm still twisted
    Like that old beach roller coaster
