I like the way this salty, warm breeze feels

As I make another cast with this old rod and reel

Sounds like things are going well

From the tone of your letter
Am
Am I doing okay?

I'm keeping my head above water
F G C
On the deck of this old saltwater lady

Dancin' 'cross the waves
F G C
The seaside world slows down to an idle

The sun sets red over Copano Bay

You moved on with your life in California

I'll move on with mine

Like the taste of this fresh key lime in my drink

Tossed it 'bout a mile offshore
Am F
Just another anchor around me weighing me down that

I don't need anymore
F G C
On the deck of this old saltwater lady

Dancin' 'cross the waves

The seaside world slows down to an idle

The sun sets red over Copano Bay
