Patty Griffin - Don't Let Me Die In Florida Lyrics
(Chorus)Please don’t let me die in Florida,I don’t care about my name.If you catch me dying in DekonaThrow my bed on to a train.(Verse)I was born in Indian summer,In the Southern long ago.Where those dirty streets cry out for rainAnd this is what I know.And the rain came and the holly stoppedJust in time for snow.And the icey cold filled up my shoesAnd this is what I know.(Chorus)Please don’t let me die in Florida,I don’t care about my name.If you catch me dying in OrlandoThrow my bed on to a train.(Bridge)Run away into waterFind the jams of what was overRight through my capJust as fun as you could tell a thingI went at home and gave my girl a ring.I put the highways at a black time downTurn the ferries into the townsAnd those hills give away just like a wedding gownI put the highways at a black time down.(Verse)I don’t need to see no mirror,I am never to see my own face,Just a reflection of somebodyWho’s gonna leave without a trace.Oh, over the hills so gold and proudLet the night come in and lay my shreadI never been to killer from around hereMaybe that’s where I should end my days.(Chorus)Please don’t let me die in Florida,I don’t care about my name.If you catch me dying in OrlandoThrow my bed on to a train.
