Coolin

Mama said, "Boy, stay clear of the water"

When you're blue and still catchin' fire

And I've learned from my father to listen to my mother

So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore

Replayin' all my memories from Georgia

Passin' time to fill the void

Edging closer to the water

But I'm further than I wanna

So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Pretendin' I'm away in California (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

Leavin' my shadow in the dust (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

It's like running from the altar to the arms of another (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore, oh (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)

When mama said, "Boy, stay clear of the water"

When you're blue and still catchin' fire

And I've learned from my father to listen to my mother

So I'm coolin', waitin' by the shore

Still coolin', waitin' by the shore, oh, yeah

Still coolin', waitin' by the shore, oh, oh-oh

Coolin' like my mama's boy

Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm
