Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1980 Found on Alibi. I drive to the coastline Looking for visual pleasures to catch my eye The sun turns around hits me on the shoulder I fly away Due to the situation this morning All in the world's OK I head down Sunset north to Santa Barbara We sail away I could live in the walls of a prison Where the warm summer winds would never blow Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side) And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know I must have spent a lifetime as a sailor Sailin' the ocean blue But every single waterway leads to you To you I could live in the walls of a prison Where the warm summer winds would never blow Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side) And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know I'm headin' out over an ocean of blue The trailin' wake far behind Won't turn me down And it won't turn me around I could live in the walls of a prison Where the warm summer winds would never blow Then again, think of what I'd be missing (as to the other side) And how some do it I'll never know, I'll never know
