🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Laid back ‘n low key, you and me on that white-powdered beachSide by side with the sand and the sea, laid back ‘n low keyGentle roar of the wave on the shoreMakes its way through the crack ‘neath the doorWake up call from the ocean floor down in Avid CoveWe’re laid back ‘n low key, you and me on that white-powdered beachSide by side with the sand and the sea, laid back ‘n low keyTequila Sunrise in a coconut vase, hammock swingin’ in the palm tree shadeStandard island beach resort cliche, hey, but that’s okayWe’re laid back ‘n low key, you and me on that white-powdered beachSide by side with the sand and the sea, laid back ‘n low keyWind blowin on the back of my neckSun reflectin’ off that tan on your breastFound that feelin’ that we lost long ago down in Avid Cove
