Crystal River Sunrise

Windows down and the map says south

You slid in by me with a coffee smile

Said let's chase the coast for a little while

Past the pines and billboards,

mile by mile

Turned a long drive into my favorite ride

Singing old refrains with the dash lit gold

Every little joke

made the day unfold

Somewhere near Ocala I already knew

Florida looked better sitting next to you

And the closer we got to that clear blue bend The more

I hoped this day would never end

Sun on the hood and a breeze rolling through Felt like the

whole world was pulling us to

Crystal River, shining bright Take my hand and hold on tight Down

in Florida, sky so wide You and me on an easy ride

Crystal River, hearts set free Water clear as a memory If this

road keeps turning our

way I could love this day all day We pulled in laughing

by the springs and boats

Saw the sunlight dancing where the current flowed

Main street waving like it knew our names Little shops and salt

air fanning every flame You brushed my arm and time got slow

Like the whole Gulf breeze didn't want to go Nothing fancy,

just a perfect view And a perfect kind of falling into you

Maybe it's the road,

maybe it's your eyes Maybe it's the way this small town feels

alive But I know when the daylight turns to gold This is

one of those nights I'll always hold Crystal River,

shining bright Take my hand and hold on tight Down in Florida,

sky so wide You and me on an easy ride Crystal River,

hearts set free Water clear as a memory If this road keeps

turning our way I could love this day all day

Crystal River, me and you (ooh) what a view
