Hoover - Dam Beachfront Property
(lyrics)

If you walk out, I won’t chase you,
And I won’t beg for you to stay.
Girl, your shadow can’t retrace you,
’Cause you don’t cross my mind that way.
And if you’ll buy that line…

I’ve got a beachfront house in Nevada,
From the back porch you can smell the tide.
I’ve got a beachfront house in Nevada,
And I’ll toss in Hoover Dam for the ride.

I don’t dream about your footsteps,
Never carved your name on that love tree.
I won’t wander where your road gets,
’Cause my heart’s better on its own, you see.
And if you’ll buy that line…

I’ve got a beachfront house in Nevada,
From the back porch you can smell the tide.
I’ve got a beachfront house in Nevada,
And I’ll toss in Hoover Dam for the ride.

I don’t keep your old love letters,
Wouldn’t know where they might be.
I don’t play our song at midnight,
That tune don’t mean a thing to me.
And if you’ll buy that line…

I’ve got a beachfront house in Nevada,
From the back porch you can smell the tide.
I’ve got a beachfront house in Nevada,
And I’ll toss in Hoover Dam for the ride.

But if you think I’m through with you, you’d be wrong,
You’re the echo in my every song.
All those desert dreams and painted skies,
Still crash like waves in my mind’s eyes.

Ain’t no beachfront house in Nevada,
Ain’t no tide for me to see.
Just an old fool in the desert,
Still drowning in your memory.

I’ll be sittin’ by those make-believe shores,
Drinkin’ piña coladas, wishin’ for more.
And if missin’ you wasn’t true through and through,
Then I’d have beachfront sand in Nevada too.

(PS. I'm completely aware that there are beaches in Nevada but they're only there because of the Hoover Dam, that's why I decided to throw that in for the ride)
