Wish I Woulda

about

"Wish I Woulda" is the follow up to Gat Moony's 2021 singles "Eastside" and "Terry".

lyrics

I was but a teen
Painting gilded dreams
Of glitzy booming industry
Blue condo by the sea
Heard “You’re So Naive”
Play in a Hurley OC
Shot up a rush of dopamine
Retail epiphany
Left without a plan
And claimed my inch of land
In overflowing colonies
That had no use for me
What are you
and where are you from?
Who are you?
Who said that you could come?

I wish I would have gone surfing
Balboa Beach, Newport
Wicked waves at the wedge
Hanging ten in Huntington
Instead of sitting on my ass at the water’s edge

Never caught the eye
Of the cool white guys
Never got close to touching
Their white bread music scene
Blonde girls weren’t so mean
As they tried not to be seen
Beside our inland dinge
With their fake tan golden sheen
Turned my truck around
and got the hell out of town
My sunny youthful idea
got me years as Maria

What are you
and where are you from?
Who are you?
Who said that you could come?

I wish I would have gone surfing
Balboa Beach, Newport
Wicked waves at the wedge
Hanging ten in Huntington
Instead of sitting on my ass at the water’s edge

I’ll never in bands playing surf rock
On the screen above the swimsuits and flip flops

I wish I would have gone surfing
Balboa Beach, Newport
Wicked waves at the wedge
Hanging ten in Huntington
Instead of sitting on my ass at the water’s edge
