Lyrics
Goin' Coastal
I woke up early to shovel snow
Scraped my windshield in 3 below
Headlights on when I went to work and on again when I came home
Right before I left work today
They downsized my job away
At first I was crushed, but now I'm thinking I may be...
CHORUS:
Goin' Coastal
I'll feel my feet in the foam
And Coastal
I'll watch the waves come home
The only kind of downsizing there
Will be my beer and what I wear
Goin' Coastal
I put my bungalow up for sale
It seemed like a fairy tale when my
Realtor said to start with my farewells
I sold my Craftsman snow blower
Gave away my Isotoners
Now I can't wait, I'm getting closer to
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I moved south about seven states where big stilts hold up the homes
Now the decision of my day is Hawaiian Tropic or Coppertone
CHORUS:
Goin' Coastal
I feel my feet in the foam
I'm Coastal
I see the waves come home
The only kind of downsizing here
Is what I wear and a lot of beer
Goin' Coastal
