Jimmy Buffett - Oldest Surfer On The Beach Lyrics

The sun’s dropping out of the picture
Soon be time to move
It hasn’t been a real big day
But I don’t have a thing to prove
I’ve still got the old nose rider
I still surf old style
I’ll go out beyond the breakers
Sit alone and rest a while

There’s nothing that I wanna do
No place I’m trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach

I stopped searching for perfection
Many waves ago
What really matters is the here and now
And that’s about all I know
Gonna catch me a big ‘ole roller
Sun setting on the sea
Riding in on her glassy shoulder
The water going grey like me

There’s nothing that I wanna do
No place I’m trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach
The oldest surfer on the beach….
