Lyrics
Verse 1
Pau hana Friday...
In Haleʻiwa town...
Everybody smiling...
Friday winding down.
ʻukulele playing...
Good vibes all around...
Cold drink in my hand...
With my slippahs on the ground.
Talking story...
With the boys all night...
Then she walked in...
Looking just right.
She smiled my way...
I smiled back too...
Lost every word...
Didn't know what to do.
Pre-Chorus
She laughed...
I laughed...
Everything felt right.
She said,
"Shoots..."
And my heart took flight.
Chorus
Shoots...
Shoots...
Thought she was the one.
Talking story...
Having too much fun.
Then one lifted Taco...
Came around the bend...
She smiled and said...
"That's my boyfriend."
Shoots...
Shoots...
Guess that's how it goes.
Sometimes paradise...
Ain't the way love flows.
Verse 2
Big lifted Taco...
Shining in the light...
Big kine tires...
Sitting way up high.
Big braddah smiling...
Like he owned the whole place.
Kinda knew...
I'd lost that race.
He walked right over...
Shook my hand...
Said,
"Howzit, braddah..."
"Hope you're having fun."
She just laughed...
I laughed too...
Then she smiled and said...
"Oh!
You met my boyfriend!"
Bridge
I looked at him...
He looked at me...
I looked at that Taco...
Then back at the sea.
He smiled and nodded...
Like everything was cool.
I smiled back thinking...
"Shoots...
That's my luck."
Final Chorus
Shoots...
Shoots...
Thought she was the one.
Talking story...
Having too much fun.
Then one lifted Taco...
Came around the bend...
She smiled and said...
"That's my boyfriend."
Maybe next Friday...
Maybe next time...
Till then you'll find me...
Still talking story...
Outro
Haleʻiwa...
Friday night...
Good friends...
Good laughs...
Shoots...
Life is still good.
