Take a breath with me for a second.
You know… out here, it's easy to lose track of time.
Days turn into nights…
nights turn into stories…
and before you know it,
you're chasing one more sunset,
one more song.
But every day's got an end to it…
and sometimes…
that's where the good stuff shows up.
So this next one…
this is for that moment when the sun starts dropping,
the drinks get a little quieter,
and you finally stop trying to be anywhere else
but right where you are.
This one's called Another Sunset In The Keys.
I used to measure my life in miles,
Bar-room drinks and weathered smiles,
Watched the good days slip through my hands,
Like I'd always get another chance.
Now I just stand here and let it be,
Watching time roll out into the sea.
Another sunset in the Keys,
Sky burning down into the sea,
Glasses ring as the light goes low,
Like it's something only locals know,
And I ain't who I used to be,
I just let it go… here in the Keys.
Played for tips where the ceiling fans spin,
Salt on the neck of a beat-up mandolin,
Old men talking like they've seen it all,
Laughing 'bout things they can't recall,
And somewhere between their words and mine,
I started hearing the truth in time.
Another sunset in the Keys,
Sky burning down into the sea,
Glasses ring as the light goes low,
Like it's something only locals know,
And I ain't who I used to be,
I just let it go… here in the Keys.
I don't run like I did back then,
Don't chase every road that might've been,
Let the tide take what it takes from me,
And give the rest back to the sea.
Some things you hold, some things you release,
I finally learned that here in the Keys.
Another sunset in the Keys,
Sky burning down into the sea,
Glasses ring as the light goes low,
Like it's something only locals know,
And I ain't who I used to be,
I just let it go… here in the Keys.
You know… I think we spend a lot of time out here…
tryin' to hold on to things a little longer than we should.
Tryin' to make a moment last…
tryin' to be somebody we think we're supposed to be.
But nights like this… right here…
this is all you really need.
So if you got somebody next to you that matters…
just take it in for a second.
Let's watch it go down together one more time…
Another sunset in the Keys,
Sky burning down into the sea,
Glasses ring as the light goes low,
Like it's something only locals know,
And I ain't who I used to be,
I just let it go… here in the Keys.
Here in the Keys…
Here in the Keys…
