A Little Time In The Sand
(Captain Joe Kent - BMI)
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I’ve been waiting on this southbound train
To get me out of this cement jungle
And the hustle that’s buzzin’ in my brain
Gonna ride her down to the end of the line
’Til them tracks just run out of land
I got some dust in my pockets - pay dirt on my shoes….
And I need a little time in the sand
Everybody’s lookin’ to get ahead
I wish they’d all just leave me behind
There’s no living ‘The Life’ when the dream is dead
It’s like a blind man reading the signs
I make no assumptions but I can’t function
I’m frazzled down to my last strand
I got some dust in my pockets - pay dirt on my shoes….
And I need a little time in the sand
Off to my left there’s nothing right
And on my right there’s nothing left
There’s a diesel in the middle I see the light
And the shadow I called myself
Gonna ride her down to the end of the line
’Til them tracks just run out of land
I got some dust in my pockets - pay dirt on my shoes…
And I need a little time in the sand
Ridin’ southbound all the way to Florida now…
’Til that train just runs out of land
Yea ol’ Compass Rose she knows where to go….
When I need a little time in the sand
Got some dust in my pockets - pay dirt on my shoes…
