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 hopin' for better days |
Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most |
Write 'em down, pass '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 |
Lookin' to the left |
Lookin' to the right |
Lookin' to the stars to shed some light |
Hopin' for a breath |
Hopin' for a break |
Hopin' for the give without the take |
The dreamers line the state road |
Just to watch the runway show |
Slouched behind their steering wheels |
They just watch the big jets go |
Streakin' through the mornin' haze |
Focal point of a distant gaze |
Lookin' for better days |
(instrumental) |
Pale invaders and tan crusaders |
Are worshiping the sun |
On the corner of walk and don’t walk |
Somewhere on U.S. 1 |
I’m back to livin' Floridays |
Blue skies and ultra violet rays |
Lookin' for better days |
I’m back to livin' Floridays |
Blue skies and ultra violet rays |
Lookin' for better days, lookin' for better days |
Lookin' for better days |
Lookin' for Floridays |
(Better days, better ways) |
Everybody’s lookin' for |
(Better days) |
Somewhere beneath the shinin' star |
(Better days) |
Take me won’t you take me to |
(Better days) |
Sure could use a few |
(Better days) |
Floridays… |
