Lyrics
Verse:
Gets up at the crack of dawn, most not forget the wax, if he wants to grip his board...
Rides a patched up 6 -2, duct taped, with a skeg patched with glue.
Well he called his boss and he told the man said I woke, found a flat on my van, but I shouldn't be no more then two hours late...
But if its too much to ask can you do me dude, would you mind if I take off the day......
Bridge:
You see theres nothing like paddling out to sea,
just my board so free
its all he really loves to do
Vrse:
Well he straps his board to his hood, and wonders if he should, but he heads out to georgica beach...
He rocks on in the key of C imaginging what his eyes might see, and now he is out of reach.
Chorus:
He wants to ride...
he wants to ride...
he wants to surf...
wants to ride.
Wants to ride...
got to ride...
wants to surf...
he's got to ride.
Bridge:
You see theres nothing like paddling out to sea...
just my board so free...
its all he really loves to do.
Stay out there I know its late...
Waiting for that killer wave...
He'll sit there if it takes till noon.
Verse:
Well he climbs on into his suit, duck dives in pursuit,
and heads out to the O B...
Well theres perfect barrels and crazy spit, with knarly tubes on every set, now this is what life is meant to be.
Chorus:
I want to ride, want to ride, got to surf, want to ride.
