I'm a thousand miles from home, standin' between my toes
Why I'm here without you, nobody knows
I keep thinkin' about your dark brown eyes
The day you get to me starts the rest of our lives

Well, I'm here in Daytona Beach, the home of speed
And I wish you could drive that fast to me
I keep thinkin' about your dark brown eyes
Get here to me soon, girl, where sun shines

I wake up in the mornin' and I get off to work
When I get home at nighttime, I watch HBO all alone

So get to me before I decompose
Let me see you, girl, before the baby shows
I keep thinkin' about your dark brown hair
I keep waitin' for you, but you're still there

I wake up in the mornin' and I get off to work
When I get home at nighttime, I watch HBO so alone
I'm a thousand miles from home, standin' between my toes

I'm just hangin' over the rail, watchin' thousands below on the boardwalk
There's gotta be a million, or maybe more in the sand
But I've got a chair and a table above this platform
I'm hangin' out with my pals, we just met about an hour ago

I'm fishin' on the pier with a gun in my hand
Fishin' on the pier with a gun in my hand
Fishin' on the pier with JD on the rocks

Oh, so then a biplane flies by waving a flag
And it's the usual advertisement we're open all night
And now the clown stuck in the sand creates a traffic jam
It's like driving in the snow, all the money we owe to Uncle Sam
You'll never get out alive

Fishin' on the pier with a gun in my hand
Fishin' on the pier with a gun in my hand
Fishin' on the pier with JD on the rocks

I can't stop thinkin' about a while ago
The way you looked, the way you showed your love to me
Girl, you're fine, fine, fine, yeah
And why keep watchin' the scenery
What I need is you here with me tonight
Girl, in time, time, time, yeah
You'll be in my arms makin' love, sweet love
You'll be in my arms makin' love, sweet love
You'll be in my arms makin' love

I'm Fishin' on the pier with a gun in my hand
Fishin' on the pier with a gun in my hand
Fishin' on the pier with JD on the rocks

I'm just a white boy, who's tired of being a quiet boy
Cause you've got something I can't resist
And prejudice will have to take a back seat for now
As you're number one on my list

Your eyes hypnotize me, lips smooth as silk
You're the sweetest black girl I know
Something in your features just intrigued me somehow
I feel like I could love you so

Who am I fooling, my mom would be cruel
(Ooo - salt & pepper)
Dad would be screaming, jigger boos
(Ooo - salt & pepper)
Her kids, pierce their noses, her mom looks like Moses
(Ooo - salt & pepper blues)
They all look the same, who is who?
(For you)

I'm just a white boy, who's not such a bright boy
Cause I know that they were all wrong
They'll call you n*gger, but I'm shouting wow
I even wrote you this song
So screw all the assholes, cause you know and I know

All hearts will pump blood red
And if I feel your beauty moving me is allowed
That don't mean I'm out of my head
I'm just a white boy
You're such a beautiful girl
