The second cut on the CD Beach Bar Serenade, is the song "Open Blue Water"...which goes a little something like this.

"Open Blue Water"
By Don Middlebrook

My daddy was a farmer, my momma cooked the meals
I’d spend my days just working the fields
When my mind would wander, I would drift away
And dream I was a pirate in a Caribbean Bay
And I’d dream of

CHORUS
Open blue waters and the deep blue sea
Never thought they’d mean so much to me
Born and raised in the country
Now it’s open blue waters and the deep blue sea
That’s what living is to me

Left the farm when I was all of 19
A wild buck with scattered dreams
Found myself working on a noisy street
In a big skyscraper surrounded by concrete
And I’d dream of

Open blue waters and the deep blue sea
Never thought they’d mean so much to me
Tried my luck in the city
Now it’s open blue waters and the deep blue sea
That’s what living is to me

Been 30 years since those childhood dreams
And I still hear the ocean calling me
No more rat race, no more emails
When I hear the calling I just go sail
And I sail

On the open blue waters and the deep blue sea
Never thought they’d mean so much to me
Look at me I’m oh so free
On those open blue waters and the deep blue sea
That’s what living is to me
