Story behind the song
Being from New Jersey I knew I had to have a "summer song" in my music catalog. I was raised in Union, NJ but we had a summer place in Seaside Heights. We lived literally steps from the bay and the ocean was a walkable distance. I spent most days by myself in the summer at the shore. Sometimes it was lonely, but the shore had a life of its own. Walking the boardwalk, finding sand bars to explore, and watching the Sand Pipers run in and out of the water. The sunrises and sunsets. The sea gulls. It all made me who I am. I am a shore chick. No matter where I live, it is what beats deep inside me.
I was visiting Gulf Shores in November of 2010. It was wonderful. Only the locals were there, all the tourists were gone. The weather was unseasonably warm and it was raining lightly. It seems all shore communities become very still when it rains. Almost like it's taking a breath. Wonderful energy to think and write. The title came to me first. Road Ends - Sand Begins. Thoughts of turning off the complicated asphalt roads of life and getting back to the good stuff that means the most to me.....
Lyrics
Road Ends - Sand Begins
I’m gonna lose my shoes,
Bury my blues,
Run in bare feet,
So-long asphalt streets,
Seduced by soft ocean winds,
Where the road ends - sand begins.
V1: Disappear into fadin’ light,
Exposed and bare – don’t know – don’t care,
I’m burnin’ the end of daylight,
Down a path that leads to I know where.
C: I’m gonna lose my shoes,
Bury my blues,
Run in bare feet,
So-long asphalt streets,
Seduced by soft ocean winds,
Where the road ends - sand begins.
V2: Raised on dead end streets…
Forget what I was told…
Let my past rest in peace…
I’ve broken free from life’s undertow.
C: Gonna lose my shoes,
Bury my blues,
Run in bare feet,
So-long asphalt streets,
Seduced by soft ocean winds,
Where the road ends - sand begins.
