Lyrics Float Away - Slaughter Beach, Dog

Down Delaware River, I went with her
We pulled over by the silvery blue
Leather seat Chevy, sticky and sweaty
We went swimmin' in our birthday suits

A sleepy mamascita, thermos of margaritas
We're never gonna make it back to New York now
Freckles on your shoulder, get me growin' older
I gotta be holdin' on to you somehow

Before you, float away, float away
Gone to stay and never return

I keep an old photo when I ride solo, hidden away on the driver's side
Torn and out of focus, I don't notice, 'til I was cleanin' out the van last night
Tucked away sweetly, in an old CD, between the pages of the liner notes
How could I forget you, like I never met you, mama, I never shoulda let you go

Let you, float away, float away
Gone to stay and never return

Maybe I'll see her in an old theater
When I'm rollin' like a rolling stone
Pickin' out a new tune, lookin' 'round a big room
In Baton Rouge or San Anton

On a Saturday night, underneath the spotlight
We'll communicate a secret song
That I could never do right, never knew the good life
Always packed up, soon to be gone

And I just, float away, float away
Gone to stay and never return
Never return
