[Intro] Board shorts on the bench seat Sun in the cupholder, surf wax on my jeans Trade winds moving through the screen Somebody’s grill crackling two yards down the street [Verse1] 7 a.m., and the rooster’s loud Flip-flops by the door, I’m out in the yard Coffee gone cold on the lanai rail Neighbor got a canoe on a trailer parked hard Pineapple sliced in a paper plate Local station playing soft through the house No big plan, just a tide to catch And the whole day stretching out [Pre-Chorus1] Let it come in slow Let the shoreline show Hear that ukulele from down the block And I’m already there when the waves roll off [Chorus1] Oh, let it ride Palm shade on my shoulders, salt on my mind Oh, let it ride Bare feet, blue water, no need to hurry this time We sing it out, we breathe it in Warm breeze moving through the tin roof grin Oh, let it ride Hawaii got us right [Verse2] Afternoon at the roadside stand Mango dripping down the back of my hand Old truck backed up by the fish market wall With a cooler full of ice and a bucket full of call Kids jumping rocks where the tide cuts in Uncle waving from the pier with a nod You can feel the island lean back and sway Like it knows how to keep the good days broad [Pre-Chorus2] Let the breeze come through Take the heat right out Drums in the distance, waves turn white Turn the corner and the whole bay lights up [Chorus2] Oh, let it ride Palm shade on my shoulders, salt on my mind Oh, let it ride Bare feet, blue water, no need to hurry this time We sing it out, we breathe it in Warm breeze moving through the tin roof grin Oh, let it ride Hawaii got us right [Interlude] (oh-oh-oh…) (oh-oh-oh…) [Bridge] Moon on the water, quiet on the porch Someone’s laughing from a house up the shore If tomorrow waits, it can wait outside We’ve got this breeze and a slow-sway tide [Final Chorus] Oh, let it ride Palm shade on my shoulders, salt on my mind Oh, let it ride Bare feet, blue water, no need to hurry this time We sing it out, we breathe it in Warm breeze moving through the tin roof grin Oh, let it ride Hawaii got us right [Outro] Board shorts on the bench seat Sun dropping low, breeze still sweet Oh-oh-oh… [End]
