Generate meaning
1
I remember my grandpa tellin me
2
About the early days of Florida
3
Born a swamp cracka two miles from Granny's Bay
4
Comin up the way of the wilderness
5
No car, phone, or electric light
6
Yeah just livin life one day at a time
7
No newspaper, no war, no strife
8
Just the elemental keys that provide for life
9
CHORUS:
10
Florida I know you're out there hiding from me
11
You get harder and harder to find
12
To understand every day she keeps slippin away
13
Florida please don't fade on me now
14
Autum sun sets morning skys ablaze
15
The oaks and the pines turn their palms up to the sun
16
The kind of beauty that hits down in your soul
17
But still you're hellbent to destroy it all
18
With Concrete and steel we pave
19
A road to hell on a land we've killed
20
So take a good look and remember it now
21
Cause one day you're gonna wake up and find it goooooone.
22
BRIDGE:
23
Now skyskrapers and superhighways are carving throught the heart of Florida
24
Building subdivisions while the swamps are drained, making room for people and amusement parks (repeat)
25
It's like watching someone you love die slow
26
Yeah, they're killing her one piece at a time
27
I know some fools who think I should let go,
28
But the've never seen Florida through my eyes.
29
CHORUS:
30
I know you're out there hiding from me
31
You get harder and harder to find
32
Every day she keeps slipping away
33
Florida please don't fade on me now
34
Florida, I know you're out there hiding from me
35
You get harder and harder to find
36
Every day she keeps slipping away
37
Florida please don't fade on me now
