Morning breaks on the Atlantic shore Golden light through my open door Pelicans gliding on a salty breeze Sea grapes dancing in the coastal trees Coffee in my hand as the waves roll in Watching fishermen with weathered grins The old pier reaching where the sea meets sky And I still stop every time I walk by Some places are beautiful Some places are true Pompano Beach gets into your soul Like the moon pulls the tide and the tide starts to roll From Briny Avenue to the lighthouse light Everything feels right Sea turtles writing their stories in the sand Wave after wave exactly as planned Some beaches you visit and leave behind Pompano Beach stays on your mind Boats slipping out through Hillsboro Inlet Chasing another sunset they won't forget Neighbors waving from across the street The kind of small-town rhythm that's hard to beat A cold draft beer at the Briny at five Listening to old stories come alive Nobody's rushing, nobody's late Just another perfect Florida day Some places are somewhere Some places belong Pompano Beach gets into your soul Like the moon pulls the tide and the tide starts to roll From Briny Avenue to the lighthouse light Everything feels right Sea turtles writing their stories in the sand Wave after wave exactly as planned Some beaches you visit and leave behind Pompano Beach stays on your mind Loggerheads under a summer moon Green turtles arriving quietly too Leatherbacks finding their way once more Following ancient maps to this shore The pier lights shimmer across the sea And for a moment it's easy to believe That heaven might be closer than we know Somewhere in the glow Pompano Beach gets into your soul Like the moon pulls the tide and the tide starts to roll From Briny Avenue to the ocean blue There's a little bit of magic shining through Sea turtles writing their stories in the sand The lighthouse standing exactly where it stands Some beaches you visit and leave behind Pompano Beach stays on your mind Atlantic breeze and a sky so wide Pelicans floating on the evening tide And if you're lucky enough to call this home You already know Pompano Beach Pompano Beach Gets into your soul
Behind the story
Why this song exists
“Pompano Beach Gets Into Your Soul” is my love story to Pompano Beach. I wrote it sitting on Pompano Pier one day, surrounded by the place I was trying to put into words. I love walking Briny Avenue. I love stopping at the Briny Pub for a cold draft beer. I love the turtles, the ocean, the pier, and the feeling of being part of a real community. But what I love most is how ordinary all of that is in Pompano Beach. You can walk down the street and people say hello. You can stop and have a conversation without feeling like you're holding somebody up or being a nuisance. People have time for each other. You can sit with a beer, watch the world go by, and simply enjoy being there. That's not a vacation day or some carefully staged Florida experience. That's everyday life in Pompano Beach. The song came from wanting to capture that feeling—the way a place can quietly become part of you until the ocean, the streets, the people and those familiar little rituals feel like home. I still play this song when I ride my motorcycle through Pompano Beach, singing it at the top of my lungs. Because I meant every word of it. Pompano Beach really does get into your soul.
