	A play on the "life's a beach" saying, this song uses a positive message to emphasize the rejuvenating power that comes from a trip to the ocean and seeing all the lovely ladies in their bikinis. The singer uses the return to the beach as a metaphor for his own life, from the heartbreak of losing his first love when he was a teenager to revitalizing himself later in life with a trip to the beach...and more beach girls.

	Story Behind the Song On a vacation to Myrtle Beach, S.C. in 1985, the singer/writer is rejuvenated, not only physically but spiritually and psychologically. He sees a young lady in a bikini who reminds him of a girl he lost to another when the singer was a teenager. He ponders the possibilities of introducing himself to the young lady. The return to the ocean is also a metaphor for a return to a more organic lifestyle which the ocean and the beach represent. Lyrics I remember sixty-seven, you went out with me, We went down to the beach and I thought I could see eternity. But you decided to go away and study a trade And you got hooked up with a young man in another town and thought you had it made, And my love for you fell back in the shade. The eighties came and I decided to go back down to the beach, To look for the ghosts of the past to see if it was still in my reach, And what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a goddess of surf, and sea, and breeze, and beer, And I said, "Hey, Baby, I'm standing over here!" Life's a beach girl, Life's beach girl-l And I haven't felt this way for some time, And the way the beach make me feel it should be a crime, And this inland life we're living, you know it ain't worth a dime. I looked through my Koolrays and saw her lying in the sand, And I wondered if I could go over and maybe hold her hand, and I wondered if I used an old line if she'd understand, And I wondered if I used an old line if I could be her man, But all I could say was," OOOOOOOOOOWEEE, What a tan!" Life's a beach girl, and I haven't felt this way for some time And the way the beach make me feel it should be a crime Life's a beach girl, and this inland life we're living isn't worth a dime. Life's a beach girl, and I haven't felt this way since I was on my knees, And it must have been the surf, or the sand, or the beer, or the breeze, Or maybe it's the coconut falling from the coconut trees, Life's a beach girl, life's a beach girl, life's a beach girl, life's a beach girl
