His Last Summer

Robin Wills, Jeremy Gluck

[Spoken]
You know, I was a surfer once
Yeah, I seen 'em come and go
But I'll never forget Ricky
And the day he caught that last wave home

It started one day with the rising sun
We cruised to Daytona for some Florida fun
No one guessed
No one knew what our best friend was gonna do
Oh no, oh no

Climbing onto his gleaming board
He caught the wave and really soared
But when the day hit high tide (Oh no!)
He caught a surfin' suicide
Waving to us from the curl
He said goodbye to the world

It was his last summer, and it made us think
We stopped surfing and started to drink
It was his last summer, and it made us think
We stopped surfing and started to drink

[Spoken]
It was his last summer
A young man is gone
Sometimes late at night on the beach
Where we sit around the woodie with our girls
We see him
Surfing through the stars on a gleaming board
The Eternal Surfer
And he comes down to us and kneels on the sand
And this is what he says

It started one day with the rising sun
We cruised to Daytona for some Florida fun
No one guessed
No one knew what our best friend was gonna do
Oh no, whoa no

It was his last summer, and it made us think
We stopped surfing and started to drink
It was his last summer, and it made us think
We stopped surfing and started to drink

Last summer
Last summer
Last summer
Last summer
Last summer
Last summer...
