A Little Shop
My dream's to open a little shop
Full of beachy things
Out in South Carolina
Maybe in Savannah to.
Complete with a sign
Made of drift wood with nails of blue so fine.
Listening to a little sea-shell chime,
Nice for passing the time.
watching surfers out at sea
Riding on surf boards bought from me.
Buy a smoothie with souvenir glass
While waiting for the low-tide to pass.
Open a soda with a "pop"
While cooling off in my little shop.
