(Verse 1) Packed my life in a rusty old ute Sick of dust and drenching chutes Dad just winked and tipped his hat Looked at Mum and said, “He’ll be back” Nineteen years out here’s enough Small-towns can make you tough Mum wiped tears as I drove away Dad just stared with nothing to say (Pre-Chorus) There was a poster hanging by my bed Blue water running through my head Some guy surfing a monster wave With a barrel so big it was like a cave (Chorus) Once I find a beach, I’ll find a place I drew a map, just in case Somewhere I’ve seen online I'll just go and I'll be fine I’ll buy a board and find a place liv'n cheap, work hard and waves I'll chase Maybe I'll meet a girl and settle down I just gotta find the perfect town (Verse 2) I found the beach and the town felt right Backpackers singing in the streets at night Salt in the air and barefoot days Cheap rent living in a beachside haze I bought a board and paddled out Caught my first wave and nearly drowned Met a cute girl with bleach blonde hair Said she travelled here from Birmingham (Pre-Chorus) Now every sunset fills my soul And the sea feels more like home Found a cool place that’s all mine I got a job and surf all the time (Chorus) I surf pretty good now , a year has passed I have my crew and we have a blast But one event topped them all When the ocean swell began to roar (Bridge) A Cyclone swell was pushing down Heavy lines rolling past the town Paddled hard and dropped right in The lip threw over like a world within The roar wrapped around my head Blue and green and endless depth Then I came flying out the end Laughing like I’d been born again (Final Chorus) Not sure how many people seen it A wave that big, clean, glassy and peeling Some video guy out on a ski Got a shot that ended up in magazine's Maybe there’s a kid in a country town Staring at that wave wondering how All I 'll say — it’s the greatest feeling Standing tall inside a wave that big and peeling (Outro) Maybe he’ll pack his old rusty ute Find a town and plant some roots Find a good girl and get a job And get a barrel so big that it makes the wall
