Wake of a Great Lakes Freighter
You can surf in Hawaii, you can surf in California
In the Columbia River, they don't even try to warn ya
You can surf in Australia, and Mexico too
You can surf in a wave pool, 'till your face turns blue
But pay no attention to those who say it's safe to do it
Don't listen to the dudes who say there's nothing to it
You can surf in the wake of a great lakes freighter
But you might get hurt in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You could get chopped by a prop in the wake of a great lakes freighter
And you can't stop 'till it's docked
In the wake of a great lakes freighter
You're gonna wish you never had the guts
When you're fish food, they're gonna say you were nuts
It's no place for a klutz, in the wake of a great lakes frieghter
Might get your picture in the paper, when you're dead and gone
An urban legend that'll always live on
You might get your own display in some Michigan museum
With your board and your leash for tourists to come and see 'em
Pay no attention to those who say it's safe to do it
Don't listen to the dudes who say there's nothing to it
It's true you can surf in the wake of a great lakes freighter
But you might get hurt in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You could get chopped by a prop in the wake of a great lakes freighter
And you can't stop 'till it's docked
In the wake of a great lakes freighter
You're gonna wish you never had the guts
When you're fish food, they're gonna say you were nuts
It's no place for a klutz, in the wake of a great lakes frieghter
You won't see a shark, don't have to worry about a gator
But you'll be well on your way to meet your creator
There ain't no way for you to put on the brake
So take this advice, and don't make a mistake
Think twice before you partake
If you make it to shore, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You'll be tempted for more, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
Might hit your head on a rock, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
And in a state of shock, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You can only float so long, and you might never be saved
A watery grave could be the price you'll pay
To ride the ultimate wave, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
In the Columbia River, they don't even try to warn ya
You can surf in Australia, and Mexico too
You can surf in a wave pool, 'till your face turns blue
But pay no attention to those who say it's safe to do it
Don't listen to the dudes who say there's nothing to it
You can surf in the wake of a great lakes freighter
But you might get hurt in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You could get chopped by a prop in the wake of a great lakes freighter
And you can't stop 'till it's docked
In the wake of a great lakes freighter
You're gonna wish you never had the guts
When you're fish food, they're gonna say you were nuts
It's no place for a klutz, in the wake of a great lakes frieghter
Might get your picture in the paper, when you're dead and gone
An urban legend that'll always live on
You might get your own display in some Michigan museum
With your board and your leash for tourists to come and see 'em
Pay no attention to those who say it's safe to do it
Don't listen to the dudes who say there's nothing to it
It's true you can surf in the wake of a great lakes freighter
But you might get hurt in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You could get chopped by a prop in the wake of a great lakes freighter
And you can't stop 'till it's docked
In the wake of a great lakes freighter
You're gonna wish you never had the guts
When you're fish food, they're gonna say you were nuts
It's no place for a klutz, in the wake of a great lakes frieghter
You won't see a shark, don't have to worry about a gator
But you'll be well on your way to meet your creator
There ain't no way for you to put on the brake
So take this advice, and don't make a mistake
Think twice before you partake
If you make it to shore, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You'll be tempted for more, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
Might hit your head on a rock, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
And in a state of shock, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
You can only float so long, and you might never be saved
A watery grave could be the price you'll pay
To ride the ultimate wave, in the wake of a great lakes freighter
