These Days

If You Call Me Again

Girlfriend’s Got A Boyfriend

Salt, Gas, and Strings
Lyrics by Wesley Paul Nykolyn 


[Verse 1]
Sun creepin’ up on a Saturday morn’
Cooler’s packed, and the gear’s all worn
Me and my boy, rods in the back
Chasin’ them bass on a lazy track
That lake wind’s blowin’ like a sweet old song
Where the cast is long and the worries are gone

[Chorus]
Salt on my skin, gas in my tank
Strings on the porch with a cold one drank
Boat’s in the water, waves hit just right
Motorbike’s rumblin’ through the golden light
Life’s a song, and this boy sings
All I need’s salt, gas, and strings

[Verse 2]
Tires hittin’ gravel on a backroad bend
My six-string waitin’ for the night to begin
Crackin’ jokes with the old band crew
Pickin’ out chords to a sky so blue
Bonfire flickers as the sun dips low
Got a beat in my chest and a banjo glow

[Chorus]
Salt on my skin, gas in my tank
Strings on the porch with a cold one drank
Boat’s in the water, waves hit just right
Motorbike’s rumblin’ through the golden light
Life’s a song, and this boy sings
All I need’s salt, gas, and strings

[Bridge]
And when that boy of mine casts out real far
I swear I see heaven from this ol’ fishin’ bar
Memories reel in with every line
It’s me and him and a little sunshine

[Breakdown]
Yeah, a little salt… a little gas…
and a lotta love in these strings that last…

[Final Chorus]
Salt on my skin, gas in my tank
Strings on the porch with a cold one drank
Boat’s in the water, waves hit just right
Motorbike’s rumblin’ through the golden light
Life’s a song, and this boy sings
All I need’s salt, gas, and strings
Yeah, all I need’s…
salt, gas, and strings

[Outro]
From the beach to the boat to the pickin’ nights…
It’s a hell of a life in the summer light 🌞🎣🏍️🎶
