Lyrics
Verse 1 – Soulful Male Lead
I had a plan, just a little joke,
Tie a shoelace to the railyard spokes.
Laugh with the crew, then vanish fast,
But the train rolled out—too quick to grasp.
I grabbed the rail, heart in my throat,
Backpack bouncing, lost my coat.
Thought it’d stop in the next small town,
But it kept on rollin’—I couldn’t get down.
Pre-Chorus – Quirky Female Harmonies
(gossip-style whispers)
“He’s gone!”
“Did he mean to ride?”
“Bet he’s cryin’ now…”
“Hope he packed snacks!”
Chorus – Full Ensemble
🎶 Three days to the beach, no map, no clue,
From Midwest tracks to ocean blue.
Sunburned nose and sandy feet,
A prank gone rogue, now ain’t that sweet? 🎶
🎶 No phone, no cash, no grown-up plan,
Just a rascal kid in a foreign land.
Can’t let ‘em call my mom, no way—
Gotta find my own wild way. 🎶
Verse 2 – Soulful Lead
Met a guy named Tito near a taco stand,
Said, “You look lost, but kinda grand.”
Traded my watch for a scooter ride,
Cruisin’ the coast with the ocean tide.
Saw a dolphin leap, heard a steel drum beat,
Dodged a crab on the boardwalk street.
But deep inside, I missed my crew,
And the smell of home, and my dog named Lou.
Spoken-Word Breakdown – Soulful Lead, cinematic groove
“So I found a bus stop near a surf shop,
told the driver I was a runaway magician.
He laughed, said, ‘Hop in, Houdini.’
We drove through the night,
and I swore I saw stars wink at me.”
Bridge – Quirky Harmonies + Funky Bassline
(harmonies mimicking classmates)
“He’s back!”
“Did he ride a whale?”
“Nah, he flew with pelicans!”
“Bet his mom grounded him for life…”
Final Chorus – Full Ensemble
🎶 Three days to the beach, now back in class,
With a sunburned tale and a hall pass.
Teacher said, “You’ve got nerve, my friend.”
I said, “It’s a long story… with a salty end.” 🎶
🎶 From prank to train to ocean breeze,
I’m the legend of the playground seas.
Got lost, got found, got home somehow—
And I’d do it again… just not right now.
