Home Grown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting on the sand
When I saw this girl
Dark brown eyes, and a dark olive tan
She was watching the sets
With a surfboard underneath her arm
The first moment I saw her
I knew she'd do me some harm
She came out of the water
From the best session I'd seen
Man, she had the biggest chi chis I had ever seen
She put down her board,
And sat down next to me
And played a soft ole lonely tune,
On her ukulele
I don't know what had happened
But I'd fallen asleep
The next morning I woke up
She was sleeping next to meÂ
[Chorus]
I fell in love with her
I'm so in love with her
I fell in love with her
My little Surfer GirlÂ
She got out of bed
Waxed up both our boards
Grabbed me by the hand and then
She took me out the door
We surfed all that day long
At least eight hours straight
Man! I knew she was the one
And damn I couldn't wait
Well I asked if she loved me
She said, "Yeah well I guess"
So I asked her to marry me
Dammit, you know she said "yes"Â
[Chorus]Â
I was at the alter
In my tuxedo-o-o
Waiting for my Surfer Girl
Man, where did she go
Later on that day
A friend to me did tell-ell-ell
That she went to Mexico
To catch a, to Catch a,
To catch a 10 foot swell
That BitchÂ
[Chorus]
My Surfer Girl
The lyrics to Home Grown's Surfer Girl tell the story of falling in love with a surfer girl at the beach. The singer of the song is sitting on the sand when he sees a girl with dark brown eyes and a dark olive tan watching the sets of waves with a surfboard underneath her arm. He is immediately attracted to her and as she comes out of the water from the best surfing session he'd ever seen, he notices her physical assets. She plays a soft and lonely tune on her ukulele and he falls asleep next to her. The next morning he wakes up to find her still sleeping next to him and he falls in love with her.
The story then takes us on a journey of the couple waxing their boards and surfing all day long. He knows she is the one and asks her to marry him, to which she says yes. On the day of their wedding, he is at the alter in his tuxedo waiting for his Surfer Girl but she never shows up. It is later revealed that she left for Mexico to catch a ten-foot swell, leaving him heartbroken and calling her a "Bitch."
