THE FINAL RIDE / Music and Lyrics by Norman Wibe

1. Verse:


Hi, guys , weather´s so nice
and the surf´s on the rise
grab your boards, run to the ocean side
for a final ride
just can´t hide
the tears in my eyes

2. Verse


It´s been so great,
you know that everything nice
has to come to an end
yes we have to leave
that´ll be our impending fate
so don´t be late
don´t be late
for the final bend

Ref:


Let´s go surfin´
a final time
surf right soon
mornin´till noon
it´s been a great, great time
yeah, it´s been a great great time
oh what fun
we have to ride those waves
in the sun in the hot shinin´sun
gettin´all the copper bronze tan
copper bronze tan

3. Verse

You know we´ve been right here
Yes, we´ve been right here
all summer long
and now when we´re finally gettin´
rid of the foam
home sweet home
time to leave this bay
singin´along

Let´s go surfin´
a final time
surf right soon
mornin´till noon
it´s been a great, great time
yeah, it´s been a great great time
oh what fun
we have to ride those waves
in the sun in the hot shinin´sun
gettin´all that copper bronze tan
copper bronze tan

4. Verse / end

Yes I´m sorry to say
but season´s finally over
for the rest of the year
it leaves us dreamin´
dreamin´for another return
turn til next turn
well have to live with all those sweet
memories to share, we´ll have to live
with all those sweet memories to share

Recorded with mixcraft 8 pro on
my lenovo laptop - compressor and
reverb used !

Cheers
Dani
