(Lyrics by Judy Henske, Music by Craig Doerge)
There are windows on the water
Lighting up the silver strand
Shining on the sea
Shining on the sea
And the ocean`s just a player
On an old piano
Who repeats one melody
Who repeats one melody
Chorus
I belong on the shore
Hustlin` nickels and dimes
`Cause it ain`t long
Before it`s gone
You might as well have a good time
Well the elbows of his jacket
Are blue and shiny
He`s drunk and gone to seed
Drunk and gone to seed
And he mumbles as he plays
The only song he knows
It`s the only song he knows
It`s the only song he needs
Chorus
I belong on the shore
Hustlin` nickels and dimes
`Cause it ain`t long
Before it`s gone
You might as well have a good time
All his restless music
Don`t mean a damn thing to me
The shallow or the deep
Said, the shallow or the deep
So if you`re free this evening
We`ll go out together
And party `til we sleep
Party `til we sleep
Chorus
I belong on the shore
Hustlin` nickels and dimes
`Cause it ain`t long
Before it`s gone
You might as well have a good time.
