Southern Coast of Maine
Music & Lyrics by Ryan Hommel

All the perfect girls at Princeton walk around like they own the world
And everything in it, can you believe it

Such blinding insecurity, they call it confidence and maturity
They don’t have either, but they wouldn’t believe it

They attract who they think are worthy and they all end up in New Jersey
And when I visit, I can’t believe it

I’m not being high and mighty here, but I start grinning ear to ear
Because you’re not them, no

Don’t let those girls drag you down
You should feel much better about yourself
At the end of the day
When the tide rolls away
You still got me and the southern coast of Maine

I got this friend you may know him well, he often puts himself through hell
And he’s got secrets, but you’d never believe them

He falls so hard for one good girl that he can’t see the rest of the world
Or anything in it, no

Don’t let those girls drag you down
You should feel much better about yourself
At the end of the day
When the tide rolls away
You still got me and the southern coast of Maine

If I told you that I love you now, would I see that furrowed brow
Or would you believe me

Everything I say is true, right down to how I feel about you

Don’t let those girls drag you down
You should feel much better about yourself
What I’m really trying to say
Is you will never see a day
That you won’t have me and the southern coast of Maine
