"Blue Water Baby" lyrics

I walk in the back door of old Philly Grimes
There's the chair in the corner that my brother liked
And though nothing's changed
It still hits me in waves

Ya told me John dropped the knee
And I said, about time
How you getting on over?
I said, I'm surviving
And you know what I mean
Without swimming too deep

I'm your blue water baby
I came home just to catch the tide
Nothing's changed in this heart o' mine
I'm still your blue water baby
There's an ocean in this old town
With you I'll never drown
We'll ride the big waves out

I left the fields for the city
With a seat by the window
My questions were big
The answer is simple
Wherever I go
I'm pulled back to the coast

From the backroads to Dunmore down to Portally Cove
And it ain't always happy, but I'm happy you're home
We were raised by these waves
Through the wind and the rain

I'm your blue water baby
I came home just to catch the tide
Nothing's changed in this heart o' mine
I'm still your blue water baby
There's an ocean in this old town
With you I'll never drown
We'll ride the big waves out

We'll ride the big waves out
