I sit at home with a weary sigh
No sandy beach, no clear blue sky
Too poor to travel, can't afford the fare
So I strum my tunes in an old wicker chair
Beachless blues, I'm feelin' fine
Strummin' my guitar, keepin' time
No ocean waves, no seaside fun
But I've got my music, and the day's just begun
The sun is shining, but I'm stuck inside
No boardwalk stroll, no carnival ride
While others splash in the ocean's roar
I pen my songs on the kitchen floor
Beachless blues, I'm feelin' fine
Strummin' my guitar, keepin' time
No ocean waves, no seaside fun
But I've got my music, and the day's just begun
I dream of seagulls and salty air
But my little room is my musical lair
With every note and every rhyme
I escape to paradise in my mind
No ice cream cone or beach ball play
Just a melody to chase my blues away
I tap my feet, make my spirits rise
In my own beachless paradise
Beachless blues, I'm feelin' fine
Strummin' my guitar, keepin' time
No ocean waves, no seaside fun
But I've got my music, and the day's just begun
My friends might laugh and call me mad
But this old guitar ain't half bad
While they suntan, I find my beat
In a humble room on a quiet street
Beachless blues, I'm feelin' fine
Strummin' my guitar, keepin' time
No ocean waves, no seaside fun
But I've got my music, and the day's just begun
No ocean breeze, no sunburnt skin
Just chords and notes where my dreams begin
I make my own waves with every strum
A sea of sound where my heart can hum
Beachless blues, I'm feelin' fine
Strummin' my guitar, keepin' time
No ocean waves, no seaside fun
But I've got my music, and the day's just begun
No lifeguard's whistle, no sandy feet
Just a rhythm in my heart, so sweet
With every tune, I find my shore
In melodies , I soar
So let them have their beach and sun
I've got my joy in what I've begun
In every chord, in every line
I find my beach, and I feel just fine
Beachless blues, I'm feelin' fine
Strummin' my guitar, keepin' time
No ocean waves, no seaside fun
But I've got my music, and the day's just begun
So here's to songs and simple days
To finding joy in different ways
No beach for me, but that's okay
I've got my ragtime tunes to play
