florida keys

Florida Keys, have I stayed here enough?

Florida Keys, do you blame me for being stuck?

My Florida Keys, have I played you enough?

Florida Keys, do you see right through my bluff?

I'm asking you tomorrow

I'm asking you to change

How did it ever come this far?

Thought I'd have moved away

We are caught on the overseas highway

Leaving our vacation down way south

We have both been unusually silent

Yeah, I think something's wearing me down

Ooh, I'm caught below a hurricane

Her eyes staring down at me

But it's been calm for a while now

Why won't I admit it's time to leave?

Oh, Florida man and your Florida drawl

Caught an endangered fish

To hang on some snow bird's wall

Babies and spring breakers and cold dealers too

All tanning by the beach

I hate it, but I love it too

They're killing all the mangroves

And gentrifying the scene

They're coming out in droves

And ripping out the soul

They're trying to make me leave

We'd go outside and play our games

Unbothered by the heat

But now my swamp is up in flames

Fort Lauderdale has changed

It's time to plant my feet somewhere other than the Florida Keys

Yeah, I've stayed here enough

Florida Keys, you've given me all I love

Oh, my Florida Keys

Yeah, I've played you enough

Florida Keys
