Bottle This

(Album: Suburban Drawl - 2023)

There's an early evening breeze
Cutting through Palmetto trees
The perfume of the Carolina shore
She's got a smile as big as mine
We got our fingers intertwined
Thinking we should come out here a little more

There's a live band at the beach bar
Got us moving outside the golf cart
To a slow song with a long kiss
Like a dark rum with a lime twist
Oh, how I wish there was a way to bottle this

There ain't a diamond in the sky
That beats the emerald in her eyes
Shining right at me as bright as noon
And the sugar on her lips
Tastes even sweeter than it did
Years ago when we came here to honeymoon

There's a live band at the beach bar
Got us moving outside the golf cart
To a slow song with a long kiss
This old romance just got a lime twist
Oh, how I wish there was a way to bottle this

If we could bottle this, I'd fill the fridge in our garage
Every night we'd pop a cork and pour a couple shots
She'd never complain about me drinking like a fish
Oh, if we could bottle this

There's a live band at the beach bar
Got us moving outside the golf cart
To a slow song with a long kiss
This old romance just got a lime twist
Oh, how I wish there was a way to bottle this
How I wish there was a way to bottle this
