I was three years old when we bought the house
Down in North Wildwood on 7th street.
Some of my earliest memories are from there.
I remember the waves crashing on the shore.
We had all kinds of toys in the house
From action figures to dumptrucks.
I spent all summer in this house
Never missing a day at the beach.
The shore house felt like home to me,
The ocean was my room.
I’d spend hours in the ocean, never getting tired
As I ride my bodyboard to shore.
7th street is my home
At the beach is where I belong.
