lyrics

flip flops
written in 2010 by brandon johnson, jenny macdonald, steven macdougall performed by slowcoaster
produced by brian talbot, mixed by mike shepherd

i fell asleep on the beach last night i think i left an angel in the sand
drank some drinks, sang some songs and felt alright and baby i could do it a" again
yeah baby I could do it a" again

grab your flip flops and your boom box and two coolers of ice
we hit up the same spot where it's so hot and the water feels so nice
steal a tiki torch from your mama's porch
we ain't gonna bring it back
cause when the sun comes up my friend we're doing this again
we're doing this again

i fell asleep to the sound of the waves last night
I think i heard a mermaid call my name
her hair was long and her eyes were extra bright and baby i won't ever be the same
no baby i won't ever be the same

grab your flip flops and your boom box and two coolers of ice
we hit up the same spot where it's so hot and the water feels so nice
steal a tiki torch from your mama's porch we ain't gonna bring it back
cause when the sun comes up my friend
yeah when the sun comes up my friend we're doing this again
we're doing this again

i fell asleep in her arms last night
she held me like the ocean holds the wind if i could go back to that summer night
i'd take off all my clothes and jump right in
yeah i'd take off a" my clothes and jump right in

grab your flip flops and your boom box and two coolers of ice
we hit up the same spot where it's so hot
and the water feels so nice
steal a tiki torch from your mama's porch we ain't gonna bring it back
cause when the sun comes up my friend we're doing this again

Gordie Samspon Songcamp Nova Scotia

“Let's get the best young songwriters in Nova Scotia and take them to the most inspiring place we can think of (Ingonish) and see what happens. Four years and roughly 250 songs later, the idea now has a mind of its own. Maybe it’s the simple math of how blind faith multiplies." - Gordie Sampson ... more
