Paging Mr Morrow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He rolls to the sand in a faded red truck Board on the rack, and he smiles with luck Sun on his hat, salt on his shirt Tide line calling like it knows his worth At Vero Beach, he greets the foam Big man's heart with a sea dog's home He wades out slow, then he kicks that line Like the whole blue world was made for him to shine [Pre-Chorus] And the kids on shore say, "Look at him go" He tips that board and he leans to the flow The wind gets loud, the gulls cut through And the whole beach starts singing too [Chorus] Paging Mr Morrow Paging Mr Morrow He rides that swell, he rides it slow Paging Mr Morrow Paging Mr Morrow Atlantic waves say, "There he goes" (there he goes) [Verse 2] He ain't built like the boys in the ads But he trims that curl like a veteran dad Chest to the water, grin to the sky He takes one look and he says, "Let's try" A foam crown breaks at his big white toes He pops right up and away he goes Board nose high, and the sun burns gold Every old beach tale gets retold [Pre-Chorus] And the lifeguard laughs, "Now that's a sight" But he cuts that wave just right, just right The whole pier claps when he stands tall Like the ocean made room for us all [Chorus] Paging Mr Morrow Paging Mr Morrow He rides that swell, he rides it slow Paging Mr Morrow Paging Mr Morrow Atlantic waves say, "There he goes" (there he goes) [Bridge] Out past the break where the pelicans wheel He finds his peace in the turning steel No perfect shape, no perfect plan Just salt, sun, and a fearless man [Final Chorus] Paging Mr Morrow Paging Mr Morrow He rides that swell, he rides it slow Paging Mr Morrow Paging Mr Morrow Vero Beach is screaming, "Go, go, go" (go, go, go)
