Lyrics The Drifters

The Drifters

I've Got Sand In My Shoes

Oh, the boardwalk's deserted

There's nobody down by the shore

And the Ferris wheel ride

Isn't turning around any more

The heat wave and the crowds

Are just old news

But I've still got some sand in my shoes.

* (Sand in my shoes)

* Brings mem'ries of the salty air

* (Sand in my shoes)

* Whoa-uh-oh-oh, the blanket that we used to share

* How we fell in love down by the sea

* Comes back to me (I've still got some sand)

* With the sand in my shoes.

Whoa, oh

When the water was cold

You would tremble and hold me so tight

And we'd sit on the beach

Just to wait for the stars to come out at night

The heat wave and the crowds

Are just old news

But I've still got some sand in my shoes.

* Refrain...

(Sand in my shoes)

Whoa-uh-oh-oh

(Sand in my shoes)

Whoa, la, la, la, la, uh-whoa

(Sand in my shoes)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
