Encinitas Break

indusrush (55)in #dsound • 5 years ago

This song was originally written a couple of years back when my son James took me to San Diego as a guest on BA as he was crew. We had a great 3 days there and spent one of them with 3 of my best buddies from Thailand, one of whom lived in Encinitas, not far from the city. I'm so glad I went for a couple of reasons, but the main one was a few months later one of my friends told us he had liver cancer, and it was terminal. So this song, although primarily a tribute to BW and the BB's, became a tribute to my friend Eric, whom I had known for at least 20 years in Koh Samui. RIP Eric, and thanks for the times...

LYRICS
Encinitas Break

We’re all gonna take a break,
We’re going to the Golden State.
We’re packin’ up our boardies and boards,
An’ searching out the best beach break.
We’re headin’ down to Encinitas,
We’re headin’ out right away,
That Southern California coastline,
Is where I’m gonna go and play….

We’ll hang out at the Swami’s place,
Join the line up out in the waves,
We’ll sleep in the van at night,
Little surfer girl would be alright.
We’re headin’ down to Encinitas,
We’re headin’ out right away,
That Southern California coastline,
Is where I’m gonna go and play….

I’ll be waxin’ down my board,
I’ll be waitin’ for those offshore winds,
I’m bound to end up in the pit,
I’ll wipe out and then I’ll get pitched
I’m down here in Encinitas,
You know I’m gonna stay,
That Southern California coastline,
Is where I like to go and play….
