This is a song I wrote about missing my home when I'm away. I never feel centered unless I'm back on my beach and these are thoughts I have when I'm away from the coast for any length of time.
The production is all RealTracks except for the vocals. It was edited and mixed in Reaper.

The Coast of Living
by jim gear

Trying to get to sleep
It ain't easy shutting down
When the wheels keep turning round and round

I've fallen in too deep
It ain't pleasing when you're all alone
And all your thoughts go rushing home

And by God I tried
To keep it inside
From a million miles away

If only I'd pay
Tha coast of living

I've packed all my baga
Heading for a southbound plane
Destination beach again

I'm waving my flag
I'll surrender to the universe
Just get me to the ocean first

And I know I've tried
To keep it inside
But I got a million things to say

If only I'd pay
The coast of living

Maybe now you'll understand
Why I am the way I am

You'll find me on the beach
There's a moon outside my window
Stop... and watch the shadows grow

I finally get to sleep
I'll be dreaming of a summer day
On the gentle waves

And right here I stand
Toes in the sand
My mind a million miles away

I finally paid
The coast of living
