Florida (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro] This is a song that I wrote about a trip down to Florida one time I went down, I went down there with my supposed best friend and girlfrend, alright So we had this Delta 88 that we were driving down for some woman who lived in Fort Lauderdale And by the time we got to North Carolina, my best friend and my girlfriend we in the backseat of the car making out Now, at the time, I was into uh, the collective non-existence of love And uh, and I just said, "Well, that's great then, right?" And, I, I thought I could be strong But no ladies and gentlemen, I couldn't handle it, I started freaking out And so, we got down to Florida and there was one night I was watching them screw on the beach And that was okay, you know, that wasn't so bad Then we went back to my mother's trailer home and they were sort of covered in tar from the beach You know, our beaches in North America, I guess, you don't out here, but anyways Haha, so I get home, and so, they go into the shower, right And they start screwing in the shower The next day, the next day, I went into the shower and there's like tar and feet stains and everything all over the place in the shower And I had to clean it all up there with my tears and my sixpack, ladies and gentlemen [Verse 1] And I remember Florida The land of endless malls Images of Elvis flicks Convertibles and blondes And I remember Nat King Cole Singing a song about the rain Yeah, I'm feeling blue again Oh yeah, I'm feeling blue again [Verse 2] And I remember drinking In those air-conditioned bars Putting all my quarters in a juke-box With big silver stars And I remember crying And I remember Nat King Cole Singing a song about the rain Yeah, I'm feeling blue again Yeah, I'm feeling blue again Everybody now [Chorus] And it was just like a vacation And I'm sure we had us some fun It was just like a vacation And I swear we even sat out in the sun Make us cry, James [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] You see my, my mother owned a trailer home On west Broward past A1A And to beat the north wind We took a spin To that tin can by the sea (Tell us a story) Well I thought she was mine But she was just passing time She even passed town out of my car And left me with Nat King Cole And the silver stars Oh, Nat King Cole and the silver stars [Chorus] And it was just like a vacation And I'm sure we had us some fun It was just like a vacation (Just like a vacation) And I sure we had us some fun (We had some kind of fun) It was just like a vacation (Come on, people, we'll always be people) And I swear we even sat out Yeah, I swear we even sat out Yeah, I swear, swear we even sat out in the sun In the sun In the sun In the sun [Outro] The good people of Saskatoon Las Vegas has another child
