I remember my granpa tellin' me
About the early days of Florida
Born a swamp cracka' two miles from Grannies Bay
Comin' up the way of the wilderness
No car phone or electric light
Yeah, just livin' life one day at a time
No newspaper, no war, and no strife
Just the elemental keys that provide for life
Florida, I know you're out there hidin' from me
You get harder and harder to find, to understand
Everyday she keeps slippin' away
Florida, please, don't fade on me now
Autumn sun set mornin' skies ablaze
The oaks and the pines turn their palms up to the sun
The kind of beauty that hit down in your soul
And still you're hell bent to destroy it all
With concrete and steel we've paved
A road to hell on a land we've killed
So take a good look and remember it now
'Cause one day your gonna wake up and find it gone
All it's glory

Now skyscrapers and superhighways
Are carved through the heart of Florida
Buildin' sub-divisions while the swamps are drained
Makin' room for people and amusement parks
Now skyscrapers and superhighways
Are carved through the heart of Florida
Buildin' sub-divisions while the swamps are drained
Makin' room for people and amusement parks
It's like watchin' someone you love die slow
Yeah, they're killin' her one piece at a time
I know some are fools who think I should let go
But they never seen Florida through my eyes
I know you're out there hidin' from me
You get harder and harder to find, to understand
Everyday she keeps slippin' away
Florida, please, don't fade on me now
Mm, mm-mm
Florida, I know you're out there hidin' from me
You get harder and harder to find, yeah, to understand
Everyday she keeps slippin' away
Florida, please, don't fade on me now
Mm-hm-hm
