Patty Griffin - Please Don't Let Me Die In Florida Lyrics
(Chorus)Please don’t let me die in Florida,I don’t care aboutÿ my name.If you catch me dying in DaytonaRoll my bed on to a train.(Verse)I was born in Indian summer,In the South End long ago.And those dirty streets cried out for rainAnd this is what I know.And the rains came and they only stoppedJust in time for snow.Andÿ 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 OrlandoRoll my bedÿ on to a train.(Bridge)(Verse)Well I went to war to fight the JapsWhen the war was overI threw my capJust as far as you could throw a thingI went home and gave my girl a ring.I put the highways and the black top downTurned the prairies into the townsAnd those hills gave way just like a wedding gownI put the highways and the black top down.ÿ(Verse)I don’t need to see no mirror,I ain’t never gonna seeÿ my own face,Just a reflection of somebodyWho’s gonna leave without a trace.Roll me over over them hills so old and proudLet the night come in and lay my shroudI ain’t never been to Cal-i-forn-aye-ayMaybe 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 dyingÿ in OrlandoRoll my bed on to a train.
