TITLE: SURFER KID [Intro] [ambient ocean sounds] [clean ukulele picking with warm guitar textures] [soft modern island beat fades in] [mellow storyteller voice] Lemme tell you ‘bout one surfer kid… Little braddah stayed getting himself into trouble… But somehow… Always landed back on his feet. [Verse 1] One late night riding in one old Tacoma Flying down the coast outside Hawaiʻi Kai Hit one bump, pup jumped Everybody swore the little guy could fly One wahine found him near the roadside Held him close underneath the moonlight glow He shook once, stood up Then disappeared before the ambulance showed [Hook] [male/female harmonies] Surfer Kid… That Surfer Kid… [Verse 2] He wandered all around the harbor side streets Following the smell from the fishing boats Then one loud blast shook the whole pier fast And sent sparks flying through the air like smoke [lighter local voice] Eh! Who gave uncle the fireworks this time?! Now the poor guy’s head was spinning sideways Couldn’t even remember where he’d been Only waves… Salt air… And flashes of one long lost friend [Hook] Surfer Kid… That Surfer Kid… [Bridge] [melodic ukulele lead] [soft female vocal hums] Some souls keep drifting with the tide… Till aloha finally brings them home. [Verse 3] Now the pound guys tried chase him through the backroads But the little braddah knew the coastline well Through the beach parks… Over lava rocks… Down one trail only locals knew too well Then one big wave rolled onto the shoreline And somehow washed him back to where he’d started Same sweet wahine… Same warm smile… Like the ocean itself had guarded him [Final Chorus] [male/female layered harmonies] Surfer Kid… That Surfer Kid… [Outro] [soft choir textures] [ocean ambience and ukulele fading] [mellow voice] Funny thing about lost souls… Sometimes they not really lost. They just trying find where they belong. [music fades]
