The Longport to AC drag race, that is right out of Frank Kerbeck's (41' Apache- "the Island Runner) playbook....I do like and have experienced the drag race Toasty is talking about.
I'd like to see that race. It still the Atlantic Ocean, might be rough, might be smooth. Money or no money, that what Sunday afternoon's used to be boating off Atlantci City, to me they "good old days."
Nobody on the road,
nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air,
the summers out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets,
the boat goes out alone.
I'm driving by your boatlift
though i know that you're not home...
And i can see you
your gold chains shining in the sun
you got your hair combed back
sunglasses on baby
and i can tell you
my love for AC will still be strong
after the offshores of summer have gone.
out on the road today
i saw a Cigarette sticker on a cadillac
a voice inside my head said don't look back
you can never look back
i thought i knew what fun was
what did i know
those days are gone for ever
i should just let them go and...
i can see you
your gold chains shining in the sun
you know your walking real slow
snarling at everyone
i can tell you
my love for AC will still be strong
after the offshores of summer have gone.
I never will forget those nights
i wonder if it was a dream
remember how you drove that mistress?
remember how the big blocks screamed?
now i don't understand what happed to our sport
now baby gonna get it back
gonna show what my Apache's made of...
i can see you
your gold chains shining in the sun
you got your anchor shade up,
radio on baby
and i can tell you
my love for AC will still be strong
after the offshores of summer have gone.
