Track Insight / Lyrics
You watched the horizon kiss the bow
Now dust devils dance where waves break now
Salt-crusted boots on sunbaked street
Trading the tide for desert heat
Salt in sand, salt in sand
Captain stands on borrowed land
No ocean here, just sky so grand
Salt in sand, salt in sand
You read the stars by kerosene glow
Motel sign flickers, buzzing low
Logbook closed but fingers trace
Meridian lines on this dusty place
Salt in sand, salt in sand
Captain stands on borrowed land
No ocean here, just sky so grand
Salt in sand, salt in sand
Turquoise door frame, chipped paint peels
Memory of how the quarterdeck feels
You order coffee, black as night
Tastes like bunker fuel at first light
Salt in sand, salt in sand
Captain stands on borrowed land
No ocean here, just sky so grand
Salt in sand, salt in sand
Radio plays a mariachi tune
Reminds you of shanties beneath the moon
Fare's paid in stories, not in coin
Every mile a longitude line
Salt in sand, salt in sand
Captain stands on borrowed land
No ocean here, just sky so grand
Salt in sand, salt in sand
Salt in the sand, oh-oh-oh
Veranda light swings, shadows grow long
Taxi waits for the morning song
