Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

I'm thinking Saturday. We could ride out to the beach, find something good to eat, make each other laugh at things that aren't nearly as funny alone. Nothing elaborate. The cliffs already have the sunset handled, and we can catch a movie if we're still ambitious. Pick a day. I'd like a little of it to be ours.

Save Lyrics as Text
Pick a day
For us to play
I'll ride the rail
Stay out of jail
But if I fail
You'll make my bail
We' ll go to OB
Drink herbal tea
Walk on the sand
Swim in the Sea
Maybe we'll take
A selfie photograph
Bring you to tears
When I make you laugh Will probably take
A minute and a half
Heart of a savior
Mind of a sinner
Maybe later on
We'll get some dinner
Place in La Jolla
For Mexican food
Hey, for the money
It's pretty damn good
Rumble down to Sunset Cliffs
Won't be no what ifs
Watch the Sea consume the Sun
Man, this show's for everyone
Let's go to a movie
Big ol' silver screen
Serious or goofy
Or somewhere in between
Another cup of coffee
Won't get us very far
Recall there was once a time
We'd close down the bar
Need to file a flight plan
So we can fly away
At least for the moment
I'm thinking Saturday
