All songs / David Alan Graham
Days run long and the worries unwind.
Sunburn line on a dashboard tan
Flip flops kickin' in the passenger stand
Old FM playin' something soft and slow
Windows down on a two-lane road
Palm trees lean like they know your name
Salt in the breeze and a hint of rain
You laugh and say we got nowhere to be
That sounds just about right to me
Clock don't matter, let it unwind
We're just chasin' that golden time
We're in a saltwater state of mind
Where the days run long and the worries unwind
Cold drink sweatin' in a koozie cup
Yeah life don't get much better than us
Barefoot hearts and a driftwood sky
Watchin' the world just roll on by
If forever had a perfect sign
It'd look like this—just you and I
In a saltwater state of mind
Bonfire sparks in the evening glow
Radio hummin' that coastal flow
Your hair tied up with a faded band
Drawin' little circles in the sand
Moonlight dancin' on every wave
You got that smile that makes me stay
Nothin' fancy, just right right here
Just a couple dreams and a cooler of beer
We ain't thinkin' 'bout Monday's grind
Just livin' in the meantime
We're in a saltwater state of mind
Where the days run long and the worries unwind
Cold drink sweatin' in a koozie cup
Yeah life don't get much better than us
Barefoot hearts and a driftwood sky
Watchin' the world just roll on by
If forever had a perfect sign
It'd look like this—just you and I
In a saltwater state of mind
Don't need a map, don't need a plan
Just your hand fit in my hand
Let that tide take us where it goes
Ain't no rush, just let it roll
We're in a saltwater state of mind
Where the stars fall slow and the moment's all mine
Every little second's so built to last
Yeah we're holdin' onto nothin' but now and the past
Barefoot hearts and a driftwood sky
Livin' this life like a lullaby
If forever had a perfect sign
It'd look like this—just you and I
Yeah it'd look like this—just you and I
In a saltwater state of mind

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
