| Driving all the way down to New Orleans | |
| Singing songs noone will ever hear | |
| As the birds were flying by we heard them calling | |
| There's a place of our souls nearby the sea | |
| Take me down to the ocean, to the promised land | |
| All the dreams we had would finally come true | |
| When I come back to my home town | |
| I won't be the same | |
| I'll be empty, I'll be missing | |
| All the beauty I once knew | |
| From Memphis down to Jackson, Mississippi | |
| We were heading for the Gulf of Mexico | |
| Every hour we would pass another city | |
| Seeing places we have never seen before | |
| As the moon rose over endless land | |
| We stopped to get some sleep | |
| And the stars above were telling us | |
| Some secrets we will keep | |
| Take me down to the ocean … | |
| Like the rivers to the sea, | |
| We would flow and still believe, | |
| We would find our destination | |
| Then a bird upon a tree | |
| Sang a Song of Cedar Key | |
| And he led us to the place | |
| And it's harmony and grace | |
| Took our hearts and let them stay forever | |
| Take me down to the ocean … |
