Sunshine I'll be feeling fine
with salt water in my hair yeah I don't really care
that my baby done left headed west and hung me out to dry

Well my baby done left said she wanted more
than the cold water waves on the Jersey Shore
told me Southern California is the place where she wants to stay
As she packed her things yet I begged her please
won't you stay here surfin down in Brigantine
but her heart was set on the west where the water's warm

In the sun sunshine
In the sun sunshine

Well in a last attempt I tried to tell her straight
the South Pacific isn't warm until the end of May
but she wouldn't believe me thought that I was deceiving and left
So I put on my suit I grabbed my board to go
get shacked matter fact in the frigid cold
I was brain freeze bombing Kamikaze dropping like hell

In the sun sunshine
In the sun sunshine

Sunshine I'll be feeling fine
with salt water in my hair yeah I don't really care
that my baby done left headed west and hung me out to dry
Sunshine I'll be feeling fine
with salt water in my hair yeah I don't really care
that my baby done left headed west and hung me out to dry

Now a year has passed since my babes been home
then a postcard came from Mexico
it was my baby saying maybe I should come where the water's warm
But still til this day yeah she can't understand
that I'm an east coast surfer and a cold water man
and that my real babe are these beach break waves that I love

In the Sun sunshine
In the sun sunshine
In the Sun sunshine
In the sun sunshine

Sunshine I'll be feeling fine
with salt water in my hair yeah I don't really care
that my baby done left headed west and hung me out to dry
