Verse 1

Flops by the door
Cooler in the back of my truck
Tan lines, dashboard
Radio turned all the way up
You in my ball cap
Cherry on your lip from a drink
One road, one map
Headed where the shore meets the sink

Pre-Chorus

Kickin' up dust
Taste of salt on our skin
Whole town's comin'
Let the long week end

Chorus

We got sand in my boots
Sun on your shoulders
Laughin' so loud
Waves rollin' over
Koozies in hand
Friends in the water
Red plastic cups and blue sky above us
Turn it up, up, up
Let the weekend spin
If this is wrong
I ain't movin' again
Small-town hearts and an ocean view
Life feels right with sand in my boots (hey!)

Verse 2

Grill smoke, daylight
Frisbee flyin' wild down the beach
Old truck tailgate
Turned into our front-row seat
Kids drawin' hearts
Right along the tide's crooked line
Sunburn, sweet sparks
You scoot a little closer to mine

Pre-Chorus

Bonfire dreams, all the worries burn thin
Stars come out and the stories roll in

Chorus

We got sand in my boots
Sun on your shoulders
Laughin' so loud
Waves rollin' over
Koozies in hand
Friends in the water
Red plastic cups and blue sky above us
Turn it up, up, up
Let the weekend spin
If this is wrong
I ain't movin' again
Small-town hearts and an ocean view
Life feels right with sand in my boots (oh yeah)

Bridge

Monday's waitin' somewhere far past the pier
Right now every care we had disappeared
You say, "Promise me this never gets old"
I say, "Baby, that's the whole goal"

Final Chorus

We got sand in my boots
Sun on your shoulders
Laughin' so loud
Waves rollin' over
Koozies in hand
Friends in the water
Red plastic cups and blue sky above us
Turn it up, up, up
Let the weekend spin
If this is wrong
I ain't movin' again
Small-town hearts and an ocean view
Everyone shout if you feel it too
Life feels right with sand in my boots
Life feels right with sand in my boots (hey!)

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)

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.
