[Intro] [Verse 1] Sunrise paints the highway gold, another weekend starts to unfold Engine hums a familiar tune, chasing that salty air, coming soon Past the cypress, wind in my hair, leaving the city, shedding all care First glimpse of the water, a shimmering gleam, living out a California dream [Chorus] Oh, Monterey Bay, calling my name, washing away at life's disdain Board on the roof, wetsuit zipped tight, gonna catch that perfect wave, bathed in the light Everyone is excited, runnin on the sand, waitin to see the day that's at hand Yeah, Monterey Bay, where the good times reside, with my friends and the ocean, side by side [Verse 2] Sand between my toes, a cool morning breeze, ocean's rhythm putting my soul at ease Waxing the board, a ritual old, stories of waves, bravely told Paddle out strong, past the breakers we go, sun on my back, a steady flow Waiting for the set, a patient art, feeling the pulse right in my heart [Chorus] Oh, Monterey Bay, calling my name, washing away at life's disdain Board in my hands, wetsuit zipped tight, catchin' that perfect wave, that's right While the others are lounging, sipping their beer, we're out in the swell, conquering fear Yeah, Monterey Bay, where the good times lay, with my friends and the ocean, on this hot summer day [Bridge] A laughter explodes as a wave pulls us under, splashing and shouting, like rolling thunder Family smiles, a bond growing deep, secrets the ocean will faithfully keep Every wipeout, a lesson learned fast, these are the moments that forever will last Floating together, beneath endless blue, a perfect reflection, me and you [Chorus] Oh, Monterey Bay, calling my name, washing away at life's disdain Feet on the board, wetsuit zipped tight, catchin' that perfect wave, that's right While the others are laughin, havin some fun, we're out in the waves, fun in the sun Yeah, Monterey Bay, where the good times lay, with my friends and the ocean, on this hot summer day [Outro] Sun sinking low, colors ignite, another day ends, bathed in delight Salt on my skin, tired but content, every wave ridden, perfectly spent Monterey Bay, till next time we meet, your wild embrace, always so sweet You and me at Monterey Bay, that's the place id like to stay, On a hot summer day
