Lyrics
[Intro] [Tailgate Latch Click & Koa Ukulele Chords]
Seventy-four vintage pickup truck bed
silence in front and the cliffs overhead
[Verse 1] [Koa Concert Ukulele & Felt Upright Bass]
Curly dark wood grain that catches the sun
Four nylon strings when the morning's begun
Strumming an F chord and drifting to C
Letting the music blow over the sea
Rust on the bumper and wax on the gate
Pacific waves never hurry or wait
[Pre-Chorus] [Soft Brush Snare & Woodblock]
Seagulls circle round over Zuma's white sand
Keeping the rhythm right here in my hand
[Chorus] [Mellow Acoustic Beach Drop]
Koa wood ukulele strumming on the tailgate
No hurried meetings, we're never running late
Singing simple verses with the sea breeze in tune
Under the light of the pale fading moon
Strum soft, sing slow, let the chords ring away
Welcome the beauty of another new day
[Verse 2] [Ukulele Picking & Upright Bass Solo]
Noah hums low in the passenger seat
Matching the pace of my four-finger beat
Thermos of coffee steaming up through the lid
Living the life that we dreamed as a kid
[Bridge] [Breathy Falsetto High Notes & Ukulele Solo]
Oh, let the wooden sound carry for miles
Turning our weary thoughts into sweet smiles
Hawaiian koa wood aged twenty years
Healing all quiet uncertainties and fears
[Chorus] [Full Rich Acoustic Climax]
Koa wood ukulele strumming on the tailgate
No hurried meetings, we're never running late
Singing simple verses with the sea breeze in tune
Under the light of the pale fading moon
Strum soft, sing slow, let the chords ring away
Welcome the beauty of another new day
[Outro] [Ukulele Harmonic Plucks & Sea Breeze]
Koa ukulele...
Tailgate acoustic.
[Fade Out]
