Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
You get up in the morning
You shake the sand from your feet
Dreaming about blue water
You toss and turn all the while you sleep
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
You got one thing on your mind now
Well all through the day well all through the night
You just waxin up your gun now
You headed for that Makaha ride
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
Now when the siren started wailing
And the civil defense was clearing the road (hey hey hey)
The surfers on the beach now
Look back and saw the wave rider go
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
So kiss your mommy and kiss your daddy
You won't be around if you catch a tsunami baby
So when the first wave broke right through the harbor
And pitched the left right on past Makaha
When he walked upon the beach kicked off his leash
And caught the bus all the way to Waimea
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
Wave rider you got the one thing on your mind
