Lyrics
Had a dream I was sittin on the edge of the ocean
Expresses a dream scenario of sitting on the ocean's edge.
Workin on nothin but a cold case and a tan
Working on a challenging mystery while enjoying the sun.
Sweatin out last nights whiskey got me burnin
Suffering the effects of the previous night's whiskey, feeling the burn.
Toe tappin to the rhythm of a rambling man
Enjoying the rhythm of a carefree and adventurous person.
Before I could open my eyes
Transitioning from a dream state, about to face reality.
I was back in the land where the sand meets the water
Returning to a beach setting where land and water meet.
Days are hot nights are hotter
Describing the environment with hot days and even hotter nights.
No shoes no problem no plans
Embracing a laid-back lifestyle with no shoes, problems, or plans.
Paradise ain't a picture on a post card home
Challenging the conventional view of paradise as seen on postcards.
It's what you feel it's in your soul
Defining paradise as a personal, soulful experience.
High tide is coming to play
Anticipating a positive change symbolized by the incoming high tide.
And I'm livin like a cast away
Living a carefree life similar to that of a castaway.
It was big cigars a tiki bars
Imagining a scene with cigars, tiki bars, and a beach bonfire.
Beach bonfire with an old guitar
Envisioning a musical atmosphere with an old guitar.
If I still had it my way
Expressing a desire to maintain a particular lifestyle.
I'd be back in the land where the sand meets the water
Reiterating the appeal of the beach environment.
Days are hot the nights are hotter
Describing the continuing allure of hot days and nights.
No shoes no problem no plans

And I'm livin like a cast away
Continuing to live a carefree life akin to that of a castaway.
When I just need to escape
Expressing a need to escape from reality.
I go back to the land where the sand meets the water
Returning mentally to the beach setting as a form of escape.
Days are hot nights are hotter
Reiterating the description of the beach environment.
No shoes no problem no plans
