The Hookhunters - Long Walks on the Beach Lyrics

Seven years in a relationship
Now it's done I'm trying to get a grip
These summer days help me clear my mind
And let me leave the memory of my ex behind
Watching advertisements go by in the sky
Feelin' the heat of this hot July
Taking me time to find myself again
I wanna live a little with no girlfriend
My wedding plans just had to be cut
Because I need to spend some quality time with my mutt
What a good friend my canine makes
We don't like fruits but we do like steak
Ever since that dog was a little little pup
She never told me once to make my bed up
Life is easy with my old hound
We don't have to put the toilet seat down

Hangin' out in a seaside town
I love to watch the sailboats float in the sound
And I love to see them beauties walk on the beach
But they're out of my class out of my reach
That's just fine that's okay
I'm not looking for a woman anyway
I just broke up and my mind's in a fog
Nowadays I like to take long walks on the beach with my dog

My dog and I we lick our wounds
Watch a seagull with a french fry on a sand dune
We're feelin' pretty good unattached
We got bones to bury and frisbees to catch
Finding peace with the power of the pooch
Occasionally getting some help from the hooch
Jumpin' in the water gettin' a tan
Leavin' lots of footprints in the sand

Hangin' out in a seaside town
I love to watch the sailboats float in the sound
And I love to see them beauties walk on the beach
But they're out of my class out of my reach
That's just fine that's okay
I'm not looking for a woman anyway
I just broke up and my mind's in a fog
Nowadays I like to take long walks on the beach with my dog

I throw a boomerang it comes back again
I hope it ain't the same for my ex-girlfriend
I don't wanna think about the past at all
So I'm spending some time with my big fur ball

Sometimes I go to the singles bars
And the pickup lines sound so bizarre
The cool fast talkers that I overhear
Think they're smoother than ole Shakespeare
Sometimes just for fun I go to dating sites
Wanted long walks on the beach and dancin' in the moonlight
Sounds easy as a walk in the park
But just for today I'd rather hear my dog bark

Hangin' out in a seaside town
I love to watch the sailboats float in the sound
And I love to see them beauties walk on the beach
But they're out of my class out of my reach
That's just fine that's okay
I'm not looking for a woman anyway
I just broke up and my mind's in a fog
Nowadays I like to take long walks on the beach with my dog

Using the power of the pooch
To get over you
The power of the pooch
To get over you
The power of the pooch
To get over you
