I can't settle down on just one shore
To ride the wild surf
Is what I'm living for
'Cause I hear a voice deep down inside
There are other girls,
Other waves to ride
Other girls, other waves to ride
I'm just a guy with time on my hands
Surfin' round the world
Seein' other lands
But I hear a voice deep down inside
There are other girls
Other waves to ride
So just like a vagabond
I'll rack my board and travel on
I've got to see all there is to see
There's wandering in my soul
That'll carry me to my goal
Then I'll find my destiny
Someday I'll find a girl
Who will be mine
Then I'll settle down
In just one town
Cause I'll hear a voice
Whispering to me
There are no more waves,
No more girls to see,
No more waves, no more girls
To see, no more waves for me
No more girls to see
