Lyrics
(Verse 1) Fluorescent lights and diesel fumes, Another sunrise in this lonely room. Fifteen years, same coffee stains, Watching eighteen-wheelers chase the rains. She knows their routes, their favorite pie, While her own dreams just drift on by. (Pre-Chorus) But late at night, when the diner’s still, She feels a spark no road can kill. (Chorus) Under the trailer, she’s dreaming so high, Mason jar wishes reachin’ for the sky. Every dollar’s a grain of sand, Buildin’ her beach in a promised land. Ocean view trailer, that’s her plan, Gonna wash the work off these weary hands. (Verse 2) Big Joe’s got a rig that roars and shakes, He tells her stories of the Great Salt Lakes. Says, “Girl, you gotta see beyond this place, Get your own adventure, find your grace.” She smiles and pours him coffee strong, Hoping he’s right, where she’s belonged. (Pre-Chorus) But late at night, when the diner’s still, She feels a spark no road can kill. (Chorus) Under the trailer, she’s dreaming so high, Mason jar wishes reachin’ for the sky. Every dollar’s a grain of sand, Buildin’ her beach in a promised land. Ocean view trailer, that’s her plan, Gonna wash the work off these weary hands. (Bridge) Some nights she dreams of salty air, Barefoot on the sand without a care. No more truckers, no more greasy fries, Just endless blue beneath endless skies. She counts the bills, her heart takes flight, A tiny spark igniting in the night. She whispers low, "It won't be long, Before I'm singing a different song." (Chorus) Under the trailer, she’s dreaming so high, Mason jar wishes reachin’ for the sky. Every dollar’s a grain of sand, Buildin’ her beach in a promised land. Ocean view trailer, that’s her plan, Gonna wash the work off these weary hands. (Outro) Ocean view, ocean view, Someday soon, her dream comes true. Ocean view, ocean view, Starting brand new. Yeah, ocean view, ocean view, Her someday's coming soon. Ocean view, ocean view.
