Patty Griffin - Florida Lyrics
Couple of young girls wentSailing down on A1ATo the arms of floridaSailing down the highwaySinging their heads offProtected by the Holy GhostFlying in from the oceanDriving with their eyes closedThe night want to kiss you deepAnd be on his wayPretend that he don't know youThe very next dayIsn't it hard sometimesIsn't it lonelyI'll still hang around hereThere's nothing to hold meYou slide down into the seaTwelve hours on you feetGet the tide to wash awayThousands and thousands of daysSomeone you never meetSigns the check you get every weekHe tries to but can't forgetAll the strangers you metEvery night never holds youNothing anywayMakes promises that he never intendsTo keep everydayIsn't it hard sometimesIsn't it lonelyI'll still hang around hereThere's nothing to hold meEverytime, every year, travelers come and goYou seem landing with their pale wingsAnd flying back to the snowSummer comes marching inWith its heavy boots onKicking along the backtopSidewalks of A1AThe young girls in their bare feetCigarette smokingLooking every which wayWishing and hopingAnd you want the night just to let you sleepAnd be on his wayWrap you up in some cool sheetsAnd have nothing to sayIsn't it hard sometimesIsn't it lonelyI'll still hang around hereThere's nothing to hold meNothing to hold me
