Surf Music

Raindrops keep falling

And damp clothes will dry

But I need some sunshine tonight

I wrote this song on some software

That I stole when I was seventeen

I thought that it might get me somewhere

I'm still nowhere and I'm twenty-three

But when I hear that warm California sound

I swear there ain't nobody that's getting me down

'Cause they put all the right notes in all the right places

Now we're driving up the coast

And we're sitting on the hood of my car

Or we're walking down the boardwalk

Or at the drive-in under the stars

When I hear that surf music

I hear that sound

It's telling me, "Don't let shit get you down"

I once believed I could achieve my every dream

But now I'm not that sure

Back home in Nelson people used to talk about him

But they ain't saying nothing no more

But when I'm feeling like I haven't a friend

I head for the place where summer don't ever end

Where they put all the right notes in all the right places

Now we're driving up the coast

And we're sitting on the hood of my car

Or we're walking down the boardwalk

Or at the drive-in under the stars

When I hear that surf music

I hear that sound

It's telling me, "Don't let shit get you d—"

And I ain't even catch any waves

But on the radio stays

You know I still crave that sound

And she's got the most beautiful eyes

Reflecting pink satin skies

As we watch that sun go down

Sitting on the hood of my car

And we ain't got no place we should be

And she looks like Lauren from Fifth Harmony

Oh and we can work from home tonight

If what I think that means is even right

'Cause I never believed in love on sight

Now, looking at you

I suddenly do, I do, I do

Now we're driving up the coast

And we're sitting on the hood of my car

Or we're walking down the boardwalk

Or at the drive-in under the stars

When I hear that surf music

I hear that sound

It's telling me, "Don't let shit get you down"
