Boat tied up, bare feet, right where the good times are.

Verse 1

Pulled off early, sun comin' up
Cooler packed and the tank topped up
Buddy texted "where y'all at?"
Said "same blue water, same old map"
Boat cuttin' through that morning shine
Girls in the bow, hair in the wind flyin'
Speakers up and the sky that blue
Nothin' on the clock but the day to lose

Pre-Chorus

Drop the anchor, let the world roll by
We ain't in no hurry, got nowhere tonight

Chorus

If you can't find me
Meet me at the sandbar
Boat tied up, bare feet
Right where the good times are
Sun high, tide low
Whole crew driftin' where the waves are
If you're lookin' for me
Meet me at the sandbar

Verse 2

Couple boats tied side by side
Somebody jumpin' in, somebody catchin' a ride
Radio playin' that summertime song
Whole little world just floatin' along
Salt on skin and a kiss in shade
Girl leaned in and the whole day changed
Funny how a place that small
Can feel like the whole world

Pre-Chorus

Drop the anchor, let the world roll by
Out here time don't fly

Chorus

If you can't find me
Meet me at the sandbar
Boat tied up, bare feet
Right where the good times are
Sun high, tide low
Whole crew driftin' where the waves are
If you're lookin' for me
Meet me at the sandbar

Bridge

No shoes, no plans, no worries today
Just wind and waves and the music play
Ain't much more that a man might need
Than a little saltwater and a little peace

Final Chorus

If you can't find me
Meet me at the sandbar
Boat tied up, bare feet
Right where the good times are
Sun down, sky gold
Still floatin' where the stars are
If you're lookin' for me
Meet me at the sandbar

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
