The Ex Surf Boy From Woonona

Billy was a surf boy when younger and carefree
And he rode the high and wild waves of Woonona on the sea
Till a heavy fall off of his motor bike in nineteen ninety four
Put Billy in a wheelchair and he won't surf anymore.

So young to be restricted he's still only twenty five
But Billy he will tell you it feels good to be alive
He still counts himself quite lucky to have survived his crippling fall
And despite all he's been through he feels lucky after all

Far from his home town south of Sydney Woonona by the sea
He lives south east of Melbourne now with his devoted Lee
And their six year old daughter Tess their special gift
to life
He counts himself a lucky man to have such a good wife.

The high surf waves of Woonona are rolling far away
He often rode upon them in summer every day
He loved the challenge of the sea on his good days in the past
But Billy he will tell you that the good days never last.

The ex surf boy from Woonona has always been so brave
He used to love the challenge of riding the big wave
Till he fell from his motor bike in nineteen ninety four
And he's resigned now to the fact that he won't surf anymore.
