I remember my grandpa tellin me About the early days of Florida Born a swamp cracka two miles from Granny's Bay Comin up the way of the wilderness No car, phone, or electric light Yeah just livin life one day at a time No newspaper, no war, no strife Just the elemental keys that provide for life
CHORUS: Florida I know you're out there hiding from me You get harder and harder to find To understand every day she keeps slippin away Florida please don't fade on me now
Autum sun sets morning skys ablaze The oaks and the pines turn their palms up to the sun The kind of beauty that hits down in your soul But still you're hellbent to destroy it all With Concrete and steel we pave A road to hell on a land we've killed So take a good look and remember it now Cause one day you're gonna wake up and find it goooooone.
BRIDGE: Now skyskrapers and superhighways are carving throught the heart of Florida Building subdivisions while the swamps are drained, making room for people and amusement parks (repeat)
It's like watching someone you love die slow Yeah, they're killing her one piece at a time I know some fools who think I should let go, But the've never seen Florida through my eyes.
CHORUS: I know you're out there hiding from me You get harder and harder to find Every day she keeps slipping away Florida please don't fade on me now
Florida, I know you're out there hiding from me You get harder and harder to find Every day she keeps slipping away Florida please don't fade on me now
