Warm beach front palm December afternoon

You close your eyes, another year blows by
G                            D      G     C
Somewhere in the wind, just another lie

There's a well-rehearsed disinterest, in the atmosphere
                G                                       D       G

Left a girl behind, in my old man's truck

Sometimes I wonder where she ended up

Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids
G                                       D

That seems to bask in his decay

A fat protagonist in flip flops
