The girls dig the way the guys get all wiped out

With their feet in the air you can hear em shout

They're not afraid, not my boys

They grit their teeth, they don't back down



Don't back down - You gotta be a little nuts

Don't back down - But show now who's got guts

Don't back down - Don't back down from that wave



With their feet full of tar and their head full of sand

The guys know the surf like the palm of their hand

hey're not afraid, not my boys

They grit their teeth, They don't back down



[Chorus]



When a 20-footer sneaks up like a ton of lead

And the crest comes along

and slaps them upside their head

They're not afraid, not my boys

They grit their teeth, They don't back down



[Chorus]
