Marina Del Rey [Live]

Here's one of those songs that, that I recorded a long, long time ago
Probably in the early eighties
And I'll tell ya how I got this song
I was, uh
I was playing at a little place down the road called Billy Bob's
What a place
Especially back in those days
And, um
A friend of mine, Mr. Frank Dycus came out to see us
And he pulls this cassette tape out of his pocket
A cassette tape is what we used to listen to songs on

Sorta like an eight-track
So I just happened to have a cassette player and I plugged it in
He said, "Man, see what you think, you might like it"
So I did, here's what it was

We said goodbye in Marina Del Rey
"I had a good time"
Was the last thing I heard her say
As I walked away

And on the plane back to Tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday
In Marina Del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina Del Rey

And as we looked into each others' eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways
In Marina Del Rey

Like the ocean tide's highs and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In Marina Del Rey

And as this plane is touchin' down
Tears touch my eyes for I have found
My heart has stayed
In Marina Del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina Del Rey

And as we looked into each others' eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways
In Marina Del Rey

We said goodbye
In Marina Del Ray
