Daytona Sand Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Buddy, we got major blues
Another suitcase in your hand
I hope you brought your walkin' shoes
’Cause it's quite a ways from what I understand
[Chorus]
So rack 'em up, big blonde
I think I could’ve been your man
We watch the surfers as they whip on the strand
Ah, Daytona sand
[Verse 2]
Long hairs, slow eyes, I like your style
We both ain't got a job
I haven't seen my band in a while
At least nothin' seems to last that long
[Chorus]
So hit the road, big blonde
Take me home to Mississippi
It's not that I don't care
It's just hard to make a plan
But, ah, Daytona sand
[Bridge]
I'm not mad, for what it’s worth
You always take the dare, that’s what I learned
I'm gettin’ tired of this earth
But they say some stones are better left unturned
Buddy, we got major blues
Another suitcase in your hand
I hope you brought your walkin' shoes
’Cause it's quite a ways from what I understand
[Chorus]
So rack 'em up, big blonde
I think I could’ve been your man
We watch the surfers as they whip on the strand
Ah, Daytona sand
[Verse 2]
Long hairs, slow eyes, I like your style
We both ain't got a job
I haven't seen my band in a while
At least nothin' seems to last that long
[Chorus]
So hit the road, big blonde
Take me home to Mississippi
It's not that I don't care
It's just hard to make a plan
But, ah, Daytona sand
[Bridge]
I'm not mad, for what it’s worth
You always take the dare, that’s what I learned
I'm gettin’ tired of this earth
But they say some stones are better left unturned
[Chorus]
So what you say, big blonde?
Is that another whispered plan?
I've been around long enough to know you can't trust a man
But, ah, Daytona sand
[Outro]
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
So what you say, big blonde?
Is that another whispered plan?
I've been around long enough to know you can't trust a man
But, ah, Daytona sand
[Outro]
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

What did Orville Peck say about "Daytona Sand"?
Genius Answer
This is about a cowboy I know who was born in Mississippi and grew up in Daytona, so I wanted to write this kind ode to Florida. And I was listening to a lot of Beach Boys, so I wanted to do my version of a country-surf song. But I wanted people to feel smacked in the face by the lyrics and the newfound confidence in the way that I present them. A lot of the songs on this album are upbeat and playful, but there’s sardonic humour in there because I’m talking about really dark and vulnerable stuff, and I wanted to show the different ways in which I could share that.
