[lyrics: Bruce Symanowicz]
Weekend heat on a two-lane road
Coolers packed, speakers overload
Turn the key, let the boat ramp go
Big Pass waiting, lets go
Engines cut, anchors drop
Sun already burning down
Boats roll in with the boards all racked
Twenty hulls railed up, fenders bump’n
Anchors hit, the ropes tighten up
Bass kicks hard from some dude's brand new BU
Salt and sweaty coconut air
Sun-kissed legs dangling off all these sleds
Guys in the water tossing cans high
Whole bay rocking with the outgoing tide
Then I saw you on a high-viz tube
Laughing when your friend, dumped-in head first
Boho Bandanna’d hair pulled back, purple koozie in hand
Floating buns deep in that crystal clear blue
Everybody shouting over every song
You with your Mr Magoo sunglasses on
Were you looking my way
We met at the sandbar, middle of the madness
Speakers thump’n, bump’n, everybody go'n wild
You leaned in close so I could hear your name
I said it back, you smiled the cutest little grin
Boats railed up and the whole bay shaking
Two hearts open with the party roll'n on
Right here on the sandbar, out at Big Pass,
Got me feeling something real
You shoved a drink in my hand and stole my hat
I went under, came up blind
You said, “Come get it,”
Climbing up the ladder
Laughing like you already knew my mind
We splashed, head’n for the Yeti,
You racing me, diving under, legs skin-on-skin,
Me feeling something more
Every time your friends pulled you away
You found my hand and pulled me back to you
Sunset laid gold on the outboard paint
Your shoulder brushed mine,
Both reach'n for a couple of frosty PBRs
You said you weren’t ready to head back in
You now my only reason to stay
Sky goin red over the bay
Nothing but clear blue around me and you
We met at the sandbar, middle of the madness
Speakers thump’n, bump’n, everybody go'n wild
You leaned in close so I could hear your name
I said it back, you gave me that dirty little grin
Boats railed up and the whole bay shaking
Two hearts open with the party roll'n on
Right here on the sandbar, out at Big Pass
Those Magoo sunglasses,
So damn cute on you!
Sun dropping low, dock lights blink'n
Engines cooled, the loud ones thinned
Strings of white bulbs swinging over the bay
But the DJ still had one more to play
I looked around at the rising tide
All afternoon, you’d been right by my side
You laughed and said, “How’d it get dark so fast?”
I said “best day ever, let’s make this last”
We met at the sandbar, middle of the madness
Speakers thump’n, bump’n, everybody go'n wild
You leaned in close so I could hear your name
I said it back like I'd known if for more than a day
Boats railed up and the whole bay shaking
Two hearts open with the party roll'n on
Right here on the sandbar, out at Big Pass
Does it feel like we were meant to meet
Weekend heat, lights on the bay
Your friends boat slowly pulling away
You said, “Same time next week?”
I said, “Save that pretty little heart for me”
Right here on the sandbar
Where you stole my heart
Sarasota girl,
hot and gone
Sarasota girl
Ya better come on back
I'll be wait'n here
Sarasota girl
Please, come on back
Sarasota girl
