Well the boys from the south play guitar on the porch As we surfed in the waves trying not to get scorched by the sun that day Man We had fun that day And at night after dark When our bellies were full the fireflies came out for a private night show And I couldn't believe that we soon had to leave Sweet Madera You know that I'll miss my Madera I've got to go back to Madera Oh Madera Ra bum bum bum bum Da da day And we talked 'round the table until the dawn came And then lay in our beds listening to the rain on the tin roof above Whispering about love As our thoughts drifted off to the sounds of the night The clouds opened wide letting in the sweet light And we watched the sun rise saying our last goodbyes to Madera You know that I'll miss my Madera I've got to go back to Madera Oh Oh Madera
