I love Florida too!! My sister and family live there and I visit, but I couldn't live there.  Too flat for me. I like hills and valleys and cornfields. lol

I used to live in California when I was 18 and it was great, I could never go there now for any reason.

You write some great stuff Rob!!

Real catchy number Robert, you paint a wonderful picture in your words.
One to listen to when your stuck in traffic on a miserable day in Manchester!

This is a song about Florida - the place I was born and now call home again. There’s just something about the sunshine, the beaches, and the lifestyle here that feels like paradise. I had to write a song about it. Hope you like it.

Florida

[Intro]
Whoa Whoa-oh-ah
Whoa Whoa-oh-ah

[Verse]
Sunburnt sky, salt in the air
Palm trees swayin’ everywhere
All night long on a waterfront dock
Flip-flops, tan lines, country rock

[Pre-chorus]
Thunder rollin’ every afternoon
Rain comes fast, then it’s gone too soon

[Chorus]
Florida!
Sunshine state of mind
Florida!
Where the sun always shines
I love to live wild and free
That’s where I wanna be
Florida
Whoa, Florida

[Verse]
Jet skis cuttin’ through the waves
Beach town buzz in the summer haze
Line dancin’ in outside bars
Beach blonde girls and pickup cars

[Pre-chorus]
Manatees driftin’ slow downstream
Livin’ that easy sunshine dream

[Chorus]
Florida!
Sunshine state of mind
Florida!
Where the sun always shines
I love to live wild and free
That’s where I wanna be
Florida
Whoa, Florida

[Bridge]
Hot nights, warm winds blow
Swamp water risin’, gators on the go
Beaches, boats, the tide rolls on
Florida nights they go on and on and on

[Interlude]

[Final chorus]
Florida!
Sunshine state of mind
Florida!
Where the sun always shines
I love to live wild and free
That’s where I wanna be
Florida
Whoa, Florida

[Outro]
Whoa Whoa-oh-ah
Florida!
Whoa Whoa-oh-ah
Florida!
