| Lyrics: | "She was born in Carolina Sweet as red wine, intoxicating smile Just a couple years behind me But she gave me my first taste of love Down to the Gulf for our spring break Drinkin’ up the that blue sky with the top pulled down And my whole world, it changed that summer With that pretty girl hanging round Swimming in the ocean In Mississippi Layin’ by the white sand With our blanket on the ground Trippin on a flip flop Stone cold sober Yeah those happy hours Are what life’s all about Gazin’ at those stars up above I was drunk on her love To see her dancing in that water Was enough to always get me high And that first kiss we had still lingers It was the best buzz I could ever find Chorus Solo Swimming in the ocean In Mississippi Kissing on the rocks Just to go another round Trippin on a flip flop Stone cold sober Yeah those happy hours Are what life’s all about Gazin’ at those bright stars up above Memories of our summer fun Never had a drink Til 21 But I was drunk on her love" |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
