About The Song
“Some Beach” is a song written by Rory Feek and Paul Overstreet and recorded by American country music artist Blake Shelton. It was released in July 2004 as the second single from Shelton’s 2004 album Blake Shelton’s Barn & Grill. The song became Shelton’s third number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and spent four weeks at that position.
The narrator deals with frustrations, such as being flipped off in traffic on the highway and having to wait all afternoon at the dentist’s office, by wishing that he were “on some beach, somewhere.” The song’s title is a double entendre, playing on a Southern United States dialectal form of the epithet “son of a bitch” (“som’ bitch”).

Lyrics
Drivin’ down the interstate
Runnin’ thirty minutes late
Singin’ Margaritaville and mindin’ my own
Some foreign car drivin’ dude with a road rage attitude
Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone
He started yellin’ at me like I did somethin’ wrong
He flipped me the bird and then he was gone
Some beach
Somewhere
There’s a big umbrella casting shade over an empty chair
Palm trees are growin’ and warm breezes blowin’
I picture myself right there
On some beach
Somewhere
I circled the parkin’ lot tryin’ to find a spot
Just big enough I could park my old truck
A man with a big cigar was gettin’ into his car
I stopped and I waited for him to back up
But from out of no where a Mercedes Benz
Came cruisin’ up and whipped right in
Some beach
Somewhere
There’s no where to go when you got all day to get there
There’s cold margaritas and hot Señoritas smiling with long dark hair
On some beach
Somewhere
Well, I sat in that waitin’ room
It seemed like all afternoon
The nurse finally said doc’s ready for you
You’re not gonna feel a thing we’ll give you some Novocaine
That tooth’ll be fine in a minute or two
Then he stuck that needle down deep in my gum
And he started drillin’ before I was numb
Some beach
Somewhere
There’s a beautiful sunset burnin’ up the atmosphere
There’s music and dancin’ and lovers romancin’
In the salty evenin’ air
On some beach
Somewhere
On some beach
Somewhere
