I wake up in the morning and I roll over on my side
Just to try to get a peek at that sweet Carolina sunrise
Well the streets have stopped turning
And the lights have been green for the past 3 days
All the touring chaos has been halted
For the winter at least till next may
But hey, it's okay
Stop, listen, do ya hear the wind now?
With every alley vacant and boardwalk silent
You can hear it's echoing sound
Well it's been about a dozen weeks
Since Ive last heard my own voice
I can chill with my guitar and cigarette
Just sit back and rejoyce
For the fact, there's no noise
Now this is the life for me, hearing the waves crest in the open sea
And the raindrops on the tin roof, baby I told you I'd find you proof
That there's beauty in everything
From the lamposts to the songs we sing
I know it's crazy and hard to believe
But there's peace here in vacancy
