Hopin' I would find ya
Washed up somewhere down on the shore
I took the train that runs in Georgia
Rolled the dice in Florida
Landed somewhere way off the board
I found a pretty little sailboat
Stranded on the East Coast
Older than the waters she knew
But all I really wanted was you
All I really wanted was you
I bought a ticket outta Tampa,
Rode up to Savannah
Stayin' with a stranger I met
I tripped along a rocky shoreline,
Bade the south a goodbye
I'll miss her but I'm sure I'll forget
I got a string full of seashells
Tied around my ankle
Sand o’ white and ocean o’ blue
But all I really wanted was you
All I really wanted was you
I got a pocket full o’ pearls,
Lots o’ pretty girls
Things you'd think would help me get through
But all I really wanted was you
All I really wanted was you
All I really wanted was you
All I really wanted was you
I made my way through Carolina Hopin' I would find ya Washed up somewhere down on the shore I took the train that runs in Georgia Rolled the dice in Florida Landed somewhere way off the board I found a pretty little sailboat Stranded on the East Coast Older than the waters she knew But all I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you I bought a ticket outta Tampa, Rode up to Savannah Stayin' with a stranger I met I tripped along a rocky shoreline, Bade the south a goodbye I'll miss her but I'm sure I'll forget I got a string full of seashells Tied around my ankle Sand o’ white and ocean o’ blue But all I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you I got a pocket full o’ pearls, Lots o’ pretty girls Things you'd think would help me get through But all I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you Explain Request ×
