It was so much fun to write. Lyrics HANG TEN MY FRIEND Pat Aureli and Danny MyrickTiny beachside tiki barAn old gray beard talking scarsPointing at a surfboard in the sand Paint-spattered old jukeboxNothin' but Marley, it never stopsBikini girls in search of a perfect tanI listened as he talked about flying and falling and Jesus and waterSmiling as he said…(Chorus)When you finally catch the wave you want you better ride itEven if the tide gets a little too rough, don't fight it.Just lose yourself out on that boardSee what the ocean has in storeOpen your mind find your peace withinHang ten my friendWell I rolled my eyes took another sipThought that dude's one helluva tripBut I guess it takes all kinds of kindsThe more I heard the more I thought maybeHe might not be sun-baked crazyAnd maybe there's some treasure for me to findSo I ordered one more beer just so I could sit and hearHis gospel of the surfboard one more time(Repeat Chorus) (Solo)(Bridge)Just got the word he's goneSat down and wrote this songA little truth to pass along (Repeat Chorus)(Tag)May the thrill never endHang ten my friendDanny Myrick, BMI, Round Hill MusicPat Aureli, BMI, Whole Lotta Pina Coladas MusicContact: Pat Aureli207-251-8313Pataureli525@gmail.com
