Somewhere On A Beach
Dierks Bentley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bet you think that I'm all alone, nah
Bet you think I'm missing you and wishing you would call my phone
Hell, nah
I went wheels up on a runway
And that ticket was a one way
I'm somewhere on a beach
Got a new girl, she got it going on
We drink all day and party all night
I'm way too gone to have you on my mind
She got a body and she's naughty
And she got me like you ain't never got me
I'm getting sun, getting some, and I ain't slept in a week
Yeah, I'm somewhere on a beach
Heard you called my boys, heard you called my folks
They said you drove by my house real slow
You can check any spot, roll down every road
But girl, I ain't even close
I'm somewhere on a beach sipping something strong
Got a new girl, she got it going on
We drink all day and party all night
I'm way too gone to have you on my mind
She got a body and she's naughty
And she got me like you ain't never got me
I'm getting sun, getting some, and I ain't slept in a week
Yeah, I'm somewhere on a beach
I wish it could've worked out
But I'm gettin' over you now
On a beach towel with my shades on
My drink's up and the sun's out
Huh, I'm somewhere on a beach
I'm somewhere on a beach
Sipping something strong
Got a new girl, she got it going on
We drink all day, and party all night
I'm way too gone to have you on my mind
She got a body and she's naughty
And she got me like you ain't never got me
I'm getting sun, getting some, and I ain't slept in a week
Yeah, I'm somewhere on a beach
Yeah, I'm somewhere on a beach
The song “Somewhere on a Beach” by Dierks Bentley is about moving on after a breakup.

Instead, he is at a beach with a new girl, enjoying his time with her while forgetting about his ex. He’s having fun, drinking all day, and partying all night. He even mentions that he hasn’t slept in a week because he’s so caught up in the moment with his new girl.

The bridge of the song expresses the singer’s wish that his previous relationship had worked out, but he’s happy where he is now. He’s sunbathing, drinking, and enjoying his time in the present.

I saw Dierks play for the very first time in West Palm Beach amphitheater and it was my first ‘tailgate’ experience. I’m an Aussie and damn was the vibe amazing. Great people, great food, drinks and I was in pit and got hit in the chest by Dierks beer that he threw into the crowd. Unforgettable experience. This song hits hard especially and I can’t forget the crowd singing back to him.

We all know these things never happens, what a feel good song. What a great world it would be if this was the way things were instead of the way we fantasize they would be. Thanks Dierks it was not only a fantastic song but an inspiration to all people to find the realness in people.

There are actually chicks paid by bar to this, so more alcohol consumption happens.
