I made my way through Carolina Hopin' I would find ya Washed up somewhere down on the shore I took the train that runs in Georgia Rolled the dice in Florida Landed somewhere way off the board I found a pretty little sailboat Stranded on the East Coast Older than the waters she knew But all I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you I bought a ticket outta Tampa, Rode up to Savannah Stayin' with a stranger I met I tripped along a rocky shoreline,
Bade the south a goodbye I'll miss her but I'm sure I'll forget I got a string full of seashells Tied around my ankle Sand o’ white and ocean o’ blue But all I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you I got a pocket full o’ pearls, Lots o’ pretty girls Things you'd think would help me get through But all I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you All I really wanted was you
