I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Roll down the window, put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys, baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more
Crank up the Beach Boys, baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more
We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see it really doesn't matter much to me
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
You see it really doesn't matter much to me
Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now
With those waves singing "Caroline"
(Oh "Caroline, No")
Rolling down that empty ocean road
Getting to the surf on time
With those waves singing "Caroline"
(Oh "Caroline, No")
Rolling down that empty ocean road
Getting to the surf on time
Yes, I have AJA on vinyl. And??
We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep on the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home
We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep on the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home
"Wish You Were Here" by Barbara Mandrell, a #2 Billboard Hot Country Singles hit from 1981. It was the follow-up single to the #1 hit "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool". "Wish" did hit #1 in Cashbox the same week her "Live" album also reached #1 on the Cashbox Country Albums chart. This is kind of a forgotten hit of hers - rarely played, rarely shows up on hit compilations. Surprising, considering how well it did.
Lyrics:
I see lovers walking on the beach at sunset
I turned to you, I guess I'm just in the habit
Ooh, baby, I wish you were here

Queen of South Beach, aging blues
Dinner's at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singin' your heart out to me
Your lips were syncing and now I see
Dinner's at six, wear your cement shoes
I thought you were singin' your heart out to me
Your lips were syncing and now I see
“I wish that I could see the way to shore.” //
“If I could find my way to shore / I’d never, never do this anymore.”
“If I could find my way to shore / I’d never, never do this anymore.”

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Skydog slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Skydog slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
So people get ready
There'a a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all
Among those loved the most

Spied a little thing and
I followed her all night
In a funky fine Levi's and her
Sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut
That was sweet as molasses
But what really knocked
Me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I followed her all night
In a funky fine Levi's and her
Sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut
That was sweet as molasses
But what really knocked
Me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
California (West Coast) knows how to party
I got no kick against the west coast
Warner brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast
I'm sure they know it's true
Warner brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast
I'm sure they know it's true
They'll be rocking in the projects
Walking down along the strand
Freddie get ready Rock steady
When Johnny strikes up the band

When Johnny strikes up the ...

Walking down along the strand
Freddie get ready Rock steady
When Johnny strikes up the band
