"Big Wave Rider" lyrics

"Big Wave Rider"

I met a woman from the South
And she was a big wave rider
With a sick child by her side
But she wouldn't let it bring her down

Big wave rider's in town

Between the mountain and a wave
Like a voice out to the masses
She told me I should carry on
Her story, told her legend there

Big wave rider's in town
Nothing can break her down
Big wave rider

And when she's sitting out the back
And her set comes walling through
She's always waiting for the big one
She can feel it like a sound

Big wave rider's in town
Nothing can break her down
Big wave rider

She made me feel it in my blood
Responsibility of love
I've got to give with every take
It's for the people that I sing

Big wave rider's in town
Nothing can break her down
Big wave rider
Big wave rider
Big wave rider's in town
