Old friend, just a note to say
Hope you're doin' fine, hope you got that raise
I've been busy too, tryin' to hold my own
But lately more and more been thinkin' 'bout back home
Say would you like to...
Meet me early, up on Surrey Ridge
'Long about daybreak by the old railroad bridge
Bring along your fishin' pole, we'll wet a line or two
And waste away the whole darn day like we used to do
Time passes quickly on
And before we knew, we were grown and gone
To join a rat race world with bills to pay
Life was so much simpler in our childhood days
Say would you like to...
Meet me early, up on Surrey Ridge
'Long about daybreak by the old railroad bridge
Bring along your fishin' pole, we'll wet a line or two
And waste away the whole darn day like we used to do
Are you gettin' tired of climbin' to the top?
Do you feel like me sometimes, and want it all to stop?
Well, come on...
Meet me early, up on Surrey Ridge
'Long about daybreak by the old railroad bridge
Bring along your fishin' pole, we'll wet a line or two
And waste away the whole darn day like we used to do
