Florida lyrics

Artist  : Patty Griffin 
Song : Florida



 Send "Florida" Ringtone to your Cell 

 A couple of young girls went sailing down A1A

Into the arms of Florida, sailing down the
highway

Singing their heads off, protected by the holy
ghost

Flying in from the ocean, driving with their eyes
closed



The night wants to kiss you deep, and be on his
way

Pretend he don't know you the very next day



Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely?

How I still hang around here, and there's nothing
to hold me



You slide down into the sea from twelve hours on
your feet

And get the tide to wash you away, thousands and
thousands of days

And someone you never meet, signs a check you get
every week

You try and still can't forget all the strangers
that you have met



The night never owed you nothing anyway

Makes promises that he never intends to keep
every day



Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely?

How I still hang around here, and there's nothing
to hold me



Every time, every year, travelers come and go

You see them landing with their pale wings and
flying back to the snow



And the summer comes marching in with his heavy
boots on

Kicking along the blacktopped sidewalks of A1A

The young girls in their bare feet, cigarettes
smoking

Looking every which way, wishing and hoping



And you want the night just to let you sleep and
be on his way

Wrap you up in some cool sheets and have nothing
to say



Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely?

How I still hang around here, and there's nothing
to hold me



Isn't it hard sometimes? Isn't it lonely?

How I still hang around here, and there's nothing
to hold me
