paddle out lyrics

I never thought that when I grew up I would be in a band
And travel all the best spots in the land
And I'm not here to brag or boast
I'm here to tell you about the spots that I love the most

Natural bridges on a clean west swell
Breaks over the reef like a bat out of hell
Stockton Avenue gets hollow and mean
And on a big day it works like a machine

Outside Stockton gets hot like a gloves
Swift St. John Street into Mitchell's cove
Big steamer in, makes you wish you were a trout
When it's mackin' so hard only two dudes paddle out

A huge summertime south swell hits when I'm in my hometown
In a surf side bowl
Is where I can be found or up and down the coast
Checkin' out the spots that I love the most
