Verse 1

Red cup in the air, beer on ice
White sand, blue waves, it's paradise
Barefoot, ray-bans, moonshine tan
Crankin' that ol' Hank out of my 'gram

Chorus

These aren't your mama's beaches
Naw, not your father's pier
I know it sounds crazy, but you gotta believe it
Don't knock it 'til you been here
We keep the good times rollin' like the waves on the water
Good Lord willin', and the creek don't rise
Yeah, these aren't your mama's beaches
Naw, not your father's pier

Verse 2

Neon outshines the stars at night
Salt life is the life of the party life
That wild wind from the gulf coast
Got her red as a pepper, still hotter than most

Chorus

These aren't your mama's beaches
Naw, not your father's pier
I know it sounds crazy, but you gotta believe it
Don't knock it 'til you been here
We keep the good times rollin' like the waves on the water
Good Lord willin', and the creek don't rise
Yeah, these aren't your mama's beaches
Naw, not your father's pier

Interlude

Woah-oh, woah-oh

Bridge

Ain't your mama's beaches
Ain't your father's pier
Naw, naw, naw, naw

Chorus

These aren't your mama's beaches
Naw, not your father's pier
I know it sounds crazy, but you gotta believe it
Don't knock it 'til you been here
We keep the good times rollin' like the waves on the water
Good Lord willin', and the creek don't rise
Yeah, these aren't your mama's beaches
Naw, not your father's pier

Outro

Woah-oh, woah-oh

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.
