A Little Goes A Long Way
Rayne Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a little sweet heart
That keeps mine beating
Little summer sunrise on a white sand beach
Yeah it may not be a lot to you
It’s everything to me

Don’t need much to keep me smiling
Just a little farm tan every once in a while
May not mean a lot to you
But it’s all I need
For me

To get a little high tide
Catch a little buzz
Drinking cold lights
Barefoot in the sun
When it feels right
Drink another one
Come on, let go, you know

If the wave’s right
Catch a little ripple
We got all night
Toes in just a little
Make life simple
Down to the middle
Cause a little, just a little, just a little
Goes a long way

Gotta little old town
That I call home
Where the crickets get to singing before it’s morning
May be kinda strange to you
But it’s all need
For me

To get a little high tide
Catch a little buzz
Drinking cold lights
Barefoot in the sun
When it feels right
Drink another one
Come on, let go, you know

If the wave’s right
Catch a little ripple
We got all night
Toes in just a little
Make life simple
Down to the middle




Cause a little, just a little, just a little
Goes a long way
