Champaign Tundra

Packed up, headed out for the summer sun
String bikinis and cut up shirts
For a long road trip out to PCB
Just to get burnt and lay on a beach
Hit the strip a couple dozen times
Waste a tank of gas to feel alive
And in the black smoke, blue lights
And straight pipes roarin'

I seen this champaign Tundra
With the windows rolled down, soaked in rain
Chasin' beachside thunder
And sometimes I wonder
When the summer's over and the
Rubber hit's the road, where you goin'?
Champaign Tundra champaign Tundra

In chaos, in a world full of tears
But the world stands still when
It's boots on a pier
And everybody's at a bar
Not rememberin' here
I'll be swingin' these Wrangler boot
Cuts once a year
Ridin' white sand, blue sky
Tank-top Shakespear
Smoked too many joints and
Drank too much beer
Laughed too damn hard, playin' guitar louder
Gettin' kicked out those Regency Towers

Inside a champaign Tundra
With the windows rolled down, soaked in rain
Chasin' beachside thunder
And sometimes I wonder
When the summer's over and the
Rubber hit's the road, where you goin'?
Champaign Tundra champaign Tundra
With the windows rolled down
Chasin' beachside thunder

The smell of the salt and a drink too strong
A weathered old Martin with
The clear coat gone
Bendin' all six strings to
Them back then songs
'Til the whiskey don't help and
My boys 'bout gone
Got the sand in a can of tobacco cut long
Wintergreen accent when I hold them doors
Sunset, eyes red, with a Boss shirt on
And it shows when I write about her

Champaign Tundra
With the windows rolled down
Drenched in rain, chasin' beachside thunder
And sometimes I wonder
When the summer's over and the
Rubber hit's the road, where you goin'?
