| Eighty dollars round trip,
|
| Any where you fly,
|
| Well that sounds like a winner.
|
| But before I book the flight
|
| They talk me out of Tampa.
|
| Well tell me 'bout New Orleans,
|
| Just when is that Mardi Gras,
|
| Well then how 'bout Chicago,
|
| Is it still cold there now or not,
|
| Talk me out of Tampa.
|
| I mean surely there’s a hurricane,
|
| Due to hit there any day,
|
| Won’t they close the beaches
|
| And the airport
|
| Well maybe it’s still way too hot,
|
| Or did I hear somewhere you stopped
|
| Flyin’into that part of the country
|
| You can think of somethin’can’t ya,
|
| Just talk me out of Tampa
|
| Between that first right at Busch Gardens
|
| And room eight bay side motel
|
| There’s no way around the memories
|
| Don’t let me do this to myself
|
| Talk me out of Tampa
|
| I just wind up at her front door,
|
| She’s still livin’there I bet,
|
| Oh but what if she’s not there alone
|
| There goes what pride I’ve got left.
|
| Talk me out of Tampa. |
| (please)
|
| I mean surely there’s a hurricane,
|
| Due to hit there any day,
|
| Won’t they close the beaches
|
| And the airport.
|
| Well maybe it’s still way too hot
|
| Or did I hear somewhere you stopped
|
| Flyin’into that part of the country
|
| You can think of somethin’can’t ya,
|
| Just talk me out of Tampa
|
| Put me some where,
|
| Nowhere even close
|
| To where I feel when my heart broke,
|
| Exactly six months ago this weekend.
|
| I just need to get away,
|
| Without your help mam i’m afraid,
|
| It wouldn’t be aget away at all.
|
| You can make up somethin’can’t ya.
|
| Just talk me out of Tampa.
|
| Eighty dollars round-trip
|
| Any where you fly… |
