Well the church bell's ringing down at old St. Mary's

The sign out front says "repent and receive."

We still cut through the shadows and alleys

Long time lovers and first time thieves



So roll down the window and let your fingers

Dance to the songs that the radio plays

Like Wilson Pickett you were moving and shaking

Little house of cards in a hurricane



So let's drink to the salt water summer

And the landlocked nights down at Slim's

Where American girls drink Mexican beer

And city boys sing small town hymns



Well failure it runs through the veins of this city

fitting in means never fightin back

We're all just dreamers chasing disasters

Reaching for the skyline, falling through the cracks



So let's drink to the salt water summer

And the landlocked nights down at Slim's

Where American girls drink Mexican beer

And city boys sing small town hymns



You're just a two pack habit with a southern accent

I'm a pearl snap poet with bad tattoos

So take my hand cause things might get messy

Sink or swim, what do you have to lose?



So let's drink to the salt water summer

And the landlocked nights down at Slim's

Where American girls drink Mexican beer

And city boys sing small town hymns
