Dixie Cup of Sand

(John D. Loudermilk)



I'm taking home a dixie cup of sand

A couple of sea shelves

My diary and some kodak colored pictures of the one

Who's breaking my heart.



I'm closing up my suitcase for the summer

I'll take this year's souvenirs and start

With my dixie cup of sand

A couple of sea shelves and my broken heart.



Why must it always turn out like this

I've got plenty sand and I've got plenty shelves

But I don't have anyone to hug and kiss

Hug and kiss.



So I'm taking home another cup of sand

Another couple of shelves

My diary and some kodak colored pictures of the one

Who's breaking my heart.



A dixie cup of sand and my broken heart

(My broken heart...)
