Southern Air

Little black haired cheeky boy in the city of vine
You made us live the eighties made music become mine
You tame the ocean, you ride those boards
I won't forget a six string, a G chord

Now you're breathing southern air
The miles between us but you care
You had the guts you ollied the five stair
A dad like you is more than rare

One talk after another
A joke you cracked followed by laughter
Our bond is irreversibly locked
April till summer a ticking clock

In your eyes the pride is shining through
Make it seem like I know the music too
Waiting for the perfect wave to break
This song's forever yours to take

Now you're breathing southern air
The miles between us but you care
You had the guts you ollied the five stair
A dad like you is more than rare

A time, a breeze, a memory to hold
Our moments a story to be unfold
Gifted with culture some good old true blue
Put a shell to my ear and I'm right here with you

Now you're breathing southern air
The miles between us but you care
You had the guts you ollied the five stair
A dad like you is more than rare
