Ten years ago we were dressed our best Standing on a shore down at key west At the end of a long black top called highway one Family and friends, flowers, wedding vows A beautiful day and the music loud Every picture on the page just reminds me That i hate palm trees And i hate the sand and the sea And i don't like that summer sun shine down on me I hate the wind and the waves I hate the way that salt water taste I don't like to feel the flip-flops on my feet Oh i guess what i'm trying to say Is i hate that beach Staring out the window here in tennessee She's out on the sand in florida keys With her new man probably drinking daiquiris She said goodbye to the hills and pines And said hello to the sweet sunshine And that's another reason why i think That i hate palm trees And i hate the sand and the sea And i don't like that summer sun shine down on me I hate the wind and the waves I hate the way the salt water taste I don't like to feel the flip-flops on my feet Oh i guess what i'm trying to say Is i hate that beach
