My Kingdom

I had a girl a real-life princess
With a crown upon her head
But man, she was complicated
Like a Barrel I couldn't ride instead
She'd boss me around
Like a tyrant on her throne
I needed an escape
A place where I could find my own zone

She'd demand attention
Like a diva on a red carpet
But I had my sights set on the waves
Where I could truly depart
Her high-maintenance ways
Were just too much to bear
So I left her behind
Grabbed my surfboard and said, See ya

I traded her princess demands
For the waves and the sun
Surfing became my kingdom
Where I found my fun
No more complicated rules
No more bossy cries
I'm riding the waves
Feeling like a wave-riding wise guy

She wanted things her way
Like a royal decree
But I needed simplicity
Like a coconut falling from a tree
She'd complain about sand in her shoes
Like it was a royal crime
But I found solace in the ocean
Where the waves danced in time
Life's too short to be feeling all fussy

I bid her adieu
With a wink and a smile
Off to ride the waves
Where I could be wild
Her bossy nature couldn't
Hold me back anymore
I left it all behind
Caught the biggest wave and soared

I traded her princess demands
For the waves and the sun
Surfing became my kingdom
Where I found my fun
No more complicated rules
No more bossy cries
I'm riding the waves
Feeling like a wave-riding wise guy

I traded her princess demands
For the waves and the sun
Surfing became my kingdom
Where I found my fun
No more complicated rules
No more bossy cries
I'm riding the waves
And said good bye
