lyrics

When Durwood went to paradise he rented a moving van.
Sarah sat shotgun with a silver wedding band
She' missed Alabama but she could understand
when he told her that his feet were missing that Sarasota sand

It was Christmas in a trailer. Dinners from a can.
And in the shade of the cypress trees they laid out careful plans.
They could have no guarantee when they went hand in hand
the seeds they'd sow would ever grow in the Sarasota sand.

There's some that find their way back home and some that never can
and theres those that leave no footprints in the Sarasota sand.

Well the tides rolled in and the tides rolled out on Durwood's promise land.
He left this world behind holding Sara's hand.
She stayed home long enough to rent a moving van
and she left behind a life time in the Sarasota sand.

There's some that find their way back home and some that never can
and theres those that leave no footprints in the Sarasota sand.
