[Intro]
(One, two, a-one, two, three, four!)
[Verse 1]
You wake up at noon with the sun in your eyes
Your hair full of salt and your head in the skies
Your mother keeps saying he'll figure it out
But I'm done sitting here without a doubt
You ride them waves from dawn 'til dark
But you ain't made a single mark, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Get off that board, boy, feet on the ground
Life ain't a beach, stop hanging around
You gotta stand up, make your own way
Can't ride that tide forever, someday
It's going to pull you under if you don't start now
Get off that board, boy
Show me how
[Verse 2]
You say you're searching for a perfect swell
But bills don't wait and the rent don't dwell
That old guitar don't pay no dues
And dreams don't count if you always lose
You got two hands, strong and free
Time to build your destiny, yeah
[Chorus]
Get off that board, boy, feet on the ground
Life ain't a beach, stop hanging around
You gotta stand up, make your own way
Can't ride that tide forever, someday
It's going to pull you under if you don't start now
Get off that board, boy
Show me how
[Bridge]
I ain't trying to break your soul
Just don't want to watch you lose control
There's a world out there past that shore
And I know you're meant for something more
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You look at me like I just don't see
But I was young, wild, and just like thee
Difference is I took my stand
Built this life with these two hands
[Final Chorus]
Get off that board, boy, feet on the ground
Life ain't a beach, stop hanging around
You gotta stand up, make your own way
Can't ride that tide forever, someday
It's going to pull you under if you don't start now
Get off that board, boy
Show me how!
[Outro]
Yeah, get off that board, boy
And I mean.....NOW.
