Tide Break

See the tide break as it’s rolling their way (rolling their way)
The six foot swells to them look like tidal waves (like tidal waves)
Some people fear and they just run away (running away)
While others brace themselves and choose to be brave
All we ever do is run away
All we need to do is turn and pray
All we ever do is fear the waves
All we need to do is embrace the day
See the tide break as it’s rolling their way (rolling their way)
The current’s mighty but the people are brave (people are brave)
They fight the rip curl and the whitewash it make (whitewash it makes)
And find the freedom in the first wave they take
All we ever do is run away
All we need to do is turn and pray
All we ever do is fear the waves
All we need to do is embrace the day
Will we swim out passed the crashing waves
Will we never stop or cease to pray
Will we always fight and keep the faith, will I?
All we ever do is run away
All we need to do is turn and pray
All we ever do is fear the waves
All we need to do is embrace the day
We are the waves today
We are one and we are running with the waves

Ocean View

Boy am I glad to be here with you singing those songs about our youth
Lemme tell you youth is a state of mind
Diggin my feet deep in the sand, living my life with an open hand
An open hand for the beggars and blind
Walkin down the beach but I hope I never walk alone, sleepin on the street but I hope I never sleep alone
So I call up all my good friends
This Party comes with an ocean view
Sippin on some local brews, singin those songs with the Markland crew
We never thought dreams could come true
Surfin all day til our lips are blue, then I grab a pick and play tunes for you
Never did I know that I never would know a thing
Never did I see that I never would see a thing
So I pick my guitar up and sing
I'll sing about the times that are always hard to find, I'll sing about the love that is always on time
I'll sing about the joy that is hidden beneath the grind
We'll sing about our friends and we'll sing about our families
We'll sing about a mends and we'll sing about a melody
We'll sing about the valley that is always hard to climb
I'll sing about the fire and I'll sing about the flame
I'll sing about the water and I'll sing about the waves
I'll sing about the pleasure and the pain
This Party comes with an ocean view
Sippin on some local brews, singin those songs with the Markland crew
We never thought dreams could come true
Surfin all day til our lips are blue, then I grab a pick and play tunes for you
This party, this party, this party rocks
This Party comes with an ocean view
Sippin on some local brews, singin those songs with the Markland crew
We never thought dreams could come true
Surfin all day til our lips are blue, then I grab a pick and play tunes for you

Candy Cane

I got a brown skinned girl, with amazing thighs
She’s got a booty for days, dark hair that matches her eyes
You know my brown skinned girl, she tastes like candy cane
And when I kiss her colored lips, she makes my heart go insane and it goes…
Shoobeedoop Shoobeedoop Aah (3x)
I got a brown eyed girl, with the freshest moves
She’s got a mean right hand, and you’ll never see her lose
You know my brown eyed girl, she loves the Motown scene
And when I’m holding her hand, she makes my heart want to sing and it goes…
Shoobeedoop Shoobeedoop Aah (3x)
Ooh (Shoobeedoop Shoobeedoop Aah)
I got a brown skinned girl, she tastes like candy cane
And when I kiss her colored lips, she makes my heart go insane
I got a brown eyed girl, she loves the Motown scene
And when I’m holding her hand, she makes my heart want to sing
I got a brown skinned girl

Sowing the Seed

Can’t you see I’m sowing the seed, can’t you see I’m sowing the seed (2x)
Can’t you see I’m planting for peace, can’t you see I’m planting for peace (2x)
‘Cause I’m ready to burn one down with you
Yes I’m ready to finally know what I never knew
Can’t you see I’m living for love, can’t you see I’m living for love (2x)
Can’t you see I’m tilling the soil just to take away turmoil (2x)
‘Cause I’m ready to burn one down with you
Yes I’m ready to finally know what I never knew
Yes I’m ready to see the world from a different view
And the fire will make a perfect avenue
I will burn it, I will burn it down, I will burn it down
We will burn it, we will burn it down, we will burn it down
Let us burn it, let us burn it down, let us burn it down
Can’t you see I’m sowing the seed, can’t you see I’m sowing the seed (2x)
‘Cause I’m ready to burn one down with you
Yes I’m ready to finally know what I never knew
Yes I’m ready to see the world from a different view
And the fire will make a perfect avenue

Burn It Out
05:13
|

|
I’d rather die standing on my feet
Instead of living life on a bended knee
Same old song in an endless sea
Crumble to the ground and they still refuse to see
The night has turned the day into a purple haze
So let’s burn it out before we fade away
Talk of your plenty and talk of your ills
One man gathers while another man spills
I don’t need no money, no fortune, no fame no
I’ve got all the riches baby one man can claim
The night has turned the day into a purple haze
So let’s burn it out before we fade away
Where do I go now that I’ve gone too far
I once fell in love now I’m falling apart
I’m lost in the darkness but I’ll steer by the stars
I’ve heard ten thousand whispers and I’ve heard one person starve
The night has turned the day into a purple haze
Better to burn it out than to fade away
Take it off, take it off don't walk away (2x)
Burn it out, burn it out don't fade away (2x)
Take it off, take it off don't walk away (2x)
Burn it out, burn it out don't fade away (2x)

Side by Side

He’s been waiting for someone like her for so long
Someone so caring so selfless and someone so strong
And he wonders and he wonders
What would his life be without her, oh
Take my hand now
Run away come away with me tonight
If you fall down
I’ll be here waiting dear right there side by side, oh
Ooh
She’s been waiting for her knight in shining arms
Someone to hold her, protect her and keep her from harm
And she wonders, and she wonders
What would her life be without him, oh
Take my hand now
Run away come away with me tonight
If you fall down
I’ll be here waiting dear right there side by side, oh

Never Ending Summer
03:43
|

I remember the summer when so little bummers stood in our way
We had nothing to conquer except for the crashing waves
There were so little worries, never in a hurry, never in pain
We just waited for the next long summer day
Ooh my summer days I said
Ooh those were the days
Ooh my summer days I said
Ooh those were the days
I remember the sunrise reflecting in her eyes as she looked my way
She would leave me speechless with nothing left to say
We were writing the chapters where there were no captors to take us away
We were living in movies the Endless Summer way
Ooh my summer days I said
Ooh those were the days
Ooh my summer days I said
Ooh those were the days
Those were the days, my summer days (2x)
(Ooh) I remember the sunrise reflecting in her eyes as she looked my way
(Ooh) We had nothing to conquer except for the crashing waves
(Ooh) We were writing the chapters where there were no captors to take us away
(Ooh) We were living in movies the Endless Summer way

The Lion and the Lamb
04:04

Starin' down the barrel of an empty bottle
Quenching my thirst is my only problem
There's so much more out there, there's so much that I crave
I used to have hope and so much potential
Now I have a rope and it's becoming sequential
I wonder if my friends will see me again someday
'Cause it all goes away
It all goes away
It all goes away too soon
Starin' at the ceiling in my empty bedroom
I want another lover but I know there's no room
In my calloused heart, in my twisted brain
So I jump into my car and I just start driving
I don't know where I'm going but at least it's exciting
Maybe if I move I'll figure a better way
'Cause it all goes away
It all goes away
It all goes away too soon
I'll put one foot in front of the other
For my only son and my holy mother
I'll keep on praying even though I don't believe
And maybe one day the storm will be weathered
They'll let me in the gate and we'll all be together
The lion and the lamb will finally live in peace
'Cause it all goes away
It all goes away
It all goes away too soon

Her Name Was Winter
02:38

Her name was winter (winter)
And I was called the summer time
She was a raincloud when I needed sunshine
I once was a rainbow (rainbow)
So she made me disappear
I once was a birdsong so she closed her ears
Her name was winter (winter)
And I was called the summer time
She was a raincloud when I needed sunshine
(Ooh) And now she’s a widow (widow)
‘Cause I am no longer alive
I’ll close my window ‘cause she closed her eyes
Ooh don’t talk about her oh
Ooh don’t say her name oh
I hope I never see another winter oh
Ooh don’t talk about her oh
Ooh don’t say her name oh
I hope I never see another winter oh
Ooh
So I’m moving back to San Diego

Sea to Sky

Never knock it ‘til you try it California
When you breathe it in you’ll be an addict I did warn ‘ya
Never knock it ‘til you try it California
It’s got me high from the sea to sky
‘Cause there are always better days
With good friends and tasty waves
Where Slightly Stoopid always plays
Let me get a hit I want a taste
Oh
Never knock it ‘til you try it California
When you breathe it in you’ll be an addict I did warn ‘ya
Never knock it ‘til you try it California
It’s got me high from the sea to sky
‘Cause when I step upon the pier
I think of all my fondest years
So light the fire and crack the beers
And grab your stick when the swell is near
Oh
Never knock it ‘til you try it California
When you breathe it in you’ll be an addict I did warn ‘ya
Never knock it ‘til you try it California
It’s got me high from the sea to sky
(Ooh) And when I feel like my world’s crashing down
(Ooh) I sift the sand and put my head in the clouds
(Ooh) I close my eyes and feel the breeze on my skin
(Ooh) I take a breath and let the good vibes in
(Oh California) Never knock it ‘til you try it California
When you breathe it in you’ll be an addict I did warn ‘ya
Never knock it ‘til you try it California
It’s got me high from the sea to sky
From the sea to sky
It’s got me high
