Florida


Sweet baby Jane was
Runnin' for her life
Hungry for the world
Only had I-95

Jo was no good he
Couldn't have afforded a
Life beyond the under...
...side of Florida

The open window Jo flicked out his last cigarette
The same sensation little Jane would not forget

Gone before light
And Orlando far behind
Ft Lauderdale and the
Next scene of the crime

Southern-brewed youth
A whole list of mistakes
That little baby Janey
Was all set to make

He didn't love her he was just along for the ride
She needed someone who could numb all the pain inside

Florida
So goddamn mean
Sordid
Life since sixteen

Florida
Knows what I mean
Lord have ya
Learned to come clean

The Sunshine State's got
Plenty dark shadows
Bittersweet heartbeat
Far as all of that goes

South Beach hustle
Slow southern style
Python boots and
Alligator smile

She spent enough time getting up off the pavement there
She told herself it was okay that Jo didn't care

High speed chase down
Interstate majesty
Pissing off a trooper and
Heading for a tragedy

Jo was still drunk
By dusk in Key West
Janey's broken heart
Would stay unconfessed

Just as the car crashed she was feeling like someone else
She realized that all along she just missed herself

Florida
So goddamn mean
Sordid
Life since sixteen

Florida
Knows what I mean
Lord have ya
Learned to come clean

She loved someone he couldn't be
He lived his life so recklessly
What was she trying to escape
So young and such a sad mistake

Florida
So goddamn mean
Sordid a
Life since sixteen

Florida
Knows what I mean
Lord have ya
Learned to come clean

Florida
So goddamn mean
Sordid a
Life since sixteen

Florida
Knows what I mean
Lord have ya
Learned to come clean
