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
