Lyrics

I Don?t Need to See the Ocean

I ran into Tommy Warner
He was back from California
Hadn?t set foot in this little town for years
He said, ?Man you won?t believe it
Someday you?ll have to see it
The view from the coast brought me to tears?
I said ?I know where your comin? from without ever goin?
I don?t need to see the ocean?

I?ve felt the waves rush over me
I?m ridin? high and floatin? free
And looking far beyond the far horizon
I?ve seen enough to understand
It?s so much bigger than I am
I get swept up in a rush of pure emotion
I?ve felt her love
I don?t need to see the ocean

It?s true I?ve never made it
Farther west than Vegas
And Knoxville?s ?bout as far east as I?ve been
I may never never spend a single day
In Key West or Monterey
But every night my tide comes rollin? in
Cause right here in the heartland when she?s lovin? me
I go from sea to shinin? sea

CHORUS
