Here I Am
Born in the summer
Hot as can be
Here I am
The sun is shining
Cactuses growing
Road Runners chirping
Here I am
Tank tops and shorts
Except in the winter
Jackets and jeans
Here I am
Gated communities
Cookie-cutter style homes
Pool in every backyard
Here I am
Moving over the bridge
Always the same temperature
Beaches flooded
Here I am
Small town
Countless tourist
Many people in the Navy
Here I am
Tall and Narrow homes
Pools are rare
The beach is our backyard
Here I am
From the west coast to the coastline
From the desert to paradise
From Arizona
Here I am
In San Diego
