lyrics

hook
when I lived in florida

when I lived in Florida i did dumb shit
but i could always find someone to drink run with
early in the mornings
but there’s more to Florida than beaches and oranges

i found deep soul in the swampness
if you talk down on the south than you’re pompous
a rusty beach cruiser was my accomplice
rent was 300 dollars

after a long night of working as a valet
i’d sit at the counter, 24 hour cuban cafe
ropa vieja por favor
if you still hungry you can order more

this country loves to go to war with war
chill lets go bar hoppin door to door
my favorite part about Florida
a game of pool was a quarter

hook
when I lived in florida

when i lived in Florida i ate alligator
and buffalo shrimp, i walked with a limp
drank beer literally all the time
smoked cigs in a bar, said a prayer every time i had to get in a car

i’m lucky i made it out alive, i’m serious
i met the devil, got delirious
partying hard, valeting cars
off bayshore boulevard

i learned how to shoot pool in Florida
that’s where I got my chops
i’m not lying i went swimming in the swamps
buck seventy five for a natty lite draft

2 dollars for beef jerky in a bag
my skin turned into leather, i’ll admit I wasn’t cut out for the weather
humid as fuck, i started to rust
6 years in Florida was enough

hook
when I lived in florida
