Lyrics
I left New York at 8:00
now I'm two hours late
its bumper to bumper.
In a house by the sea
she's waiting for me.
Wide open spaces...
The sun on our faces....
Just how much of my time
gets spent waiting in lines
for one thing or another ?
Humble house by the sea,
that's where we'll be.
Sleep till we want to.
There's no one to rescue.
Man on the radio is talkin' bout another war,
its never ending.
Everybody's got a right to try to find a better life,
the time we're spending...
In a house by the sea
that's where we'll be.
The sound of the ocean...
The far blue horizon...
Everybody needs some time to have a little peace of mind
and do some dreaming.
Everybody's got a choice to listen to their inner voice,
I hear mine screaming.
In a house by the sea
that's where we'll be.
Enough of the high stress...
We're changing our address.
I left New York at 8:00
now I'm two hours late
its bumper to bumper.
In a house by the sea
she's waiting for me.
I'll drive till I get through...
All night if I have to...
The sound of the ocean...
the far blue horizon....
