David Ackles - Surf's Down

Everything's changing on the surfing scene,
I traded in my Woodie on a new machine
I haven't had a zit since I was seventeen
And I can't find the number of my teenage queen,
Now when I pick up a girl I say as nice as I can,
'Wanna tandem,' but she says, 'You dirty old man.'
Surf's down.

It's getting kind of lonely as a surfer man.
My knots are disappearing and I got no tan.
My wet suit's leaking and they laugh at my jams,
And no-one wants to talk about their high-lift cams.
So well I got a few tricks that I'd like to show,
But you can't hang ten when you've lost your little toe.
Surf's down.

Hey there Linda babe why won't you respond,
Don't you know me, I used to be a blonde.

Let's go stomping baby you and me.
I got some Dick Dale records and Sherry.
And then we'll check the waves down at Wind and Sea,
I'll even buy some beer and use my own ID.
I've got a lot more miles til my treads wear through,
So I guess I'll keep surfing 'cause it's all I can do.
Surf's down.

Ride, ride, ride, surfer man.
