The sun"s dropping out of the picture
Soon be time to move
It hasn"t been a real big day
But I don"t have a thing to prove
I"ve still got the old nose rider
I still surf old style
I"ll go out beyond the breakers
Sit alone and rest a while
There"s nothing that I wanna do
No place I"m trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach
I stopped searching for perfection
Many waves ago
What really matters is the here and now
And that"s about all I know
Gonna catch me a big "ole roller
Sun setting on the sea
Riding in on her glassy shoulder
The water going grey like me
There"s nothing that I wanna do
No place I"m trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach
The oldest surfer on the beach....
