3 Summer Stories Lyrics by Frank Orrall

Never Trade These Days

0

[Verse 1]
My, uh, first real surfboard was a lightning bolt
I was so stoked I practically slept with that thing
Some nights before we'd be going out surfing
Man, I could barely sleep
Before the sun would rise
We were already on our way to the beach
[Chorus]
Oh baby, check this wave out
I got so barreled and still made it out
I got my style down just like Lopez
On our way home let's stop for an Icee
[Verse 2]
We used to trick out these old Schwinn Sting-Rays
We'd take the seat off and the fenders off
Strip the bike down of еverything that it didn't need
Bend the handlеbars out wide
Make it look like a, make it look like a flat track
I had this old orange BSA motorcycle t-shirt that my brother gave me
I used to wear it in the rain
We'd make motocross races in the park
Set up a ramp
See how many trash cans we could jump
I thought I was Steve McQueen
[Chorus]
Paint it black with a can of house paint
Get some forks and stretch the extension
Oh, oh oh oh, on any Sunday
Evel Knievel's gonna jump the Grand Canyon
[Verse 3]
In my, uh, punk rock mod days
I used to drive a motor scooter
I had this, uh, this beautiful 150 Vespa Sprint
With a full windscreen and a cop seat
Bought it out on the windward side
Drove it home, I'll never forget it
I painted it maroon and cream
Decked it out with a Hawaiian flag and a bunch of mirrors
We had a little scooter club, it was total "Quadrophenia"
We used to go riding down into, go out dancing to ska down in Waikiki
We were Kool and the Gang until Marky crashed and Mikey died
[Chorus]
Oh, let's drive around the island
And maybe catch a flick at Wai'alae Drive-In
We'll make the scene, you know the girls like riding
I like to drive in the thunder and lightning
