Verse 1
Ain't nothing like the windy city, where the station wagon died
Where the wild dogs ruin the fences, and the horsemen fences ride
Where the flatlands become the flatlands, and the caravans collide
I'm just sitting 'neath the mango running a tide
Verse 2
Took a ride on a bin train, 50 cars or more
They say the heads are just insane, but it's to risky to score
Sitting on the lawn with Andrea, dragging the line for river red
Everyone look better with a sun tan, easier to get you into bed
Chorus
Daughters of the northern coast, sons of the beaches, don't deliver the post, you know the post is a ghost
Verse 3
Lee Marlin went looking for a marvin, while we were looking for a line in the pub
Hey, and still the black mans starving, no wonder nobody wants a job
Helicopter over homestead, stirring all the young blades at night
They're stepping out there in the sultry summer evening, their pistols all packed and their badges so bright
Chorus & Solo
Verse 4
Took a ride on a bin train, 50 cars or more
They say the heads are just insane, but it's to risky to score
Andrea's been giving me a towel down, standing on a Palm Beach shore
If those girls keep a doin' that thing, I can't wait for next year, I'm gonna come back for more
Chorus
