Salt In The Speakers (LIVE)

By Jimmy Shoals · One More Round (Live From The Sandbar)

Alright now… good evening Key West. You know there are a lot of ways to spend a night by the water… Some folks sit quiet and listen to the tide roll in… But every once in a while you find a place where the cooler's open, the sand's still warm from the sun, and somebody cranks the music just a little louder than they probably should. Now where I come from… we call that therapy. So if you've got a drink in your hand, or a little sand between your toes tonight… this one's for you. Let's put a little salt in the speakers. Salt in the speakers Sand in the sound Turn it up, let it roll Let it roll We rolled in slow with the gulf wind loud Sun-bleached dock and a restless crowd Flip-flop rhythms on splintered pine Old AM static and a salt-life sign Cooler sweating through busted ice Cheap dark rum and a sunset slice Laughter rising with the heat Barefoot sparks on a tar-black street Salt in the speakers, sand in the sound Turn it up till the sun goes down Hands in the air when the tide rolls in Sunburnt souls and a reckless grin We ain't chasing nothing deeper Just salt in the speakers Salt-ring circles on a plywood bar Bonfire smoke under broken stars Old dock pilings and a tailgate song Same three chords we've known so long Time don't shout, it just moves on by Like tide-washed names on a plywood sign Right here laughing in the dark Still got fire, still got spark Salt in the speakers, sand in the sound Turn it up till the sun goes down Hands in the air when the tide rolls in Sunburnt souls and a reckless grin We ain't chasing nothing deeper Just salt in the speakers We were thunder on a wooden pier Now we toast what kept us here Some burned out and some burned bright Some still dancing in the firelight No grand plan, just salt and spark Music ringing through the dark Alright, let me hear you out there… If you've ever rolled the windows down, let the music take the wheel, and forgot what day it was for a while… You're in the right place tonight. Everybody now — come on — sing this one with me. Salt in the speakers, sand in the sound Turn it up till the sun goes down Hands in the air when the tide rolls in Sunburnt souls and a reckless grin We ain't chasing nothing deeper Just salt in the speakers Salt in the speakers Salt in the speakers Turn it up, let it roll Let it roll Salt in the speakers
