[Verse 1]
He was tucked in the corner, of Captain Tony’s
With a face like he weathered a reef.
Skin like old leather, eyes a bit heavy,
Guarding a moment of peace.
I slid onto the stool, ordered a double.
He studied my face and smiled.
He said, “Son, I can tell you’re chasing that wind,
And running your engine too wild”

[Chorus]
It’s time for some SALT, Lime, and Life Lessons.
Shaken in a glass full of ice.
The highs and the lows they’re all part of the show,
And you’ll never see the same sunset twice.

[Verse 2]
We traded a few stories over a couple more rounds.
Of fame that came and went fast.
He said, “I built three fortunes under that sun,
And watched every damn one of ’em, crash.
I learned pride always charges a fee”.
Then he stared at his glass and said, “Son, when it’s gone,
what’s left is just the man you see”

[Bridge]
He leaned-in-close, his voice worn and weathered.
Said, “Here’s the truth of the way
Don’t go hunting demons, don’t go chasing hate.
‘Cause you’ll FIND exactly what you seek.
If you steer toward love, you can rise above.
And stand where few ever reach”

[Verse 3]
“You know we’re sitting right here due to the turns we took,
And the chances we made or we missed.
Don’t dance in your glory, don’t wallow in your shame,
Neither’s gonna help you exist.
Learn from the wrecks, climb back on that deck,
And never make excuses for the rain.

[Chorus]
So here’s to Salt, Lime, and Life Lessons.
Shaken in a glass full of ice.
The highs and the lows, they’re all part of the show,
And you’ll never see the same sunset twice.

[Ottro]
Yeah the ocean she gives, and the ocean she takes.
She don’t care if you Curse or you Pray.
It’s your Heart and your Rigging that gets you through,
When you’re learning to ride those waves.
No I don’t know his name, but I know what I gained
From one hell of a conversation that night.
I walked away better, and I’ll always remember.
The Salt, the Lime, and Life Lessons…
