Floridays

I come from where the rivers meet the sea That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free I was early into crazy ways My folks said, "It's just a phase" They were hoping for better days Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most Write 'em down, pas 'em around It's the gospel from the coast Reflections, not just replays Takin' time to escape the maze Lookin' for better days I spent a year of my life one night On the beaches in old Beirut Seems that all they're aimin' for there Is to hang around and shoot Each others' lives away Bloody winds on a distant bay They're lookin' for better days
