Riviera Life

"Riviera Life" is the third song on Caro Emerald's debut album, "Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor".

Description

 * "Close your eyes and believe you're the country girl that takes a hidden 1956 Sunbeam from a farmhouse, left underneath a flood of discolored leaves in an abandoned garage. When the April showers fade and the nouveau rich hit the casinos of Monaco, the elite look around for that woman of style and substance. "Riviera Life" is but a dream, but for the evening about to come, that dream is possible. Maybe even for the weekend."

Lyrics
I'm really tired of my concrete jungle Six days a week is way too much I'm gonna make The great escape Go on a little getaway

I'll go get my beat up motor Start it up and head for the green Of endless countrysides And go somewhere I've never been

I'll stop Kiss my blues goodbye Breathe until I Soar outside my crazy nights And live the Riviera life I'll stop Thank you for today I'm sure that by Candlelight, I'll be alright And live a Riviera life

The road can wind like my hidden hair bow You clear my face so I can feel the breeze And down below It's Monaco And mister, I don't know a soul

I'll drop off the keys at valet Look out my window bay One afternoon Martini Wouldn't want it any other way

I'll stop Kiss my blues goodbye Breathe until I Soar outside my crazy nights And live the Riviera life I'll stop Thank you for today I'm sure that by Candlelight, I'll be alright And live a Riviera life

So whenever My eyes get weary I'm not fearing What life brings Forever When times make me teary I'll know what I was meant to do I've nothing at all to lose

I'll stop Kiss my blues goodbye Breathe until I Soar outside my crazy nights And live the Riviera life I'll stop Thank you for today I'm sure that by Candlelight, I'll be alright And live a Riviera life
