lyrics

Well, look out Florida you got a hooker
in your back, she's riding high with some trick
on Sligh street, she's in the corner store of the
Sonoco trying to buy cigarettes, she says it's her
birthday, God help her. She asks you for a pack of cigarettes. She gives you a wink and shakes her ass one time. You go and get yourself three more dollars for some mad-dog blueberry wine.

Well your friends are getting married ready to
have their kids and you're still out here bringing
bum wine home. Having so much goddamn
sugar trying to stay sober, but you never ever
feel at home.

Nothing good comes from Florida, including
you, oh your hair looks so black and blue
Keep me ready lord, keep me steady lord
Come back home honey when everything falls
apart for you.

Florida Avenue with them limp legged-lovers
she says, boyfriend beats her down. In the Dutch Motel outside Hillsborough Avenue where
them young boys can't make it downtown.
She a dancer, she's a lover, she's a money making
girl who's ready for a fight. You ask her where
she's from she says, pay that no never mind.
Left my old town cause it was shit. Living in this new town but it's shit too. Got to be somewhere better than this.

I promise you my teeth if you promise me your
hand. I'm going to give you the most beautiful funeral that I possibly can. We may never grow old but we sure as hell can't stay young. I'm going to be your American child until the setting sun. Go down the street honey sell that ass. Its a quick way to make some cash. Josephine don't you cry,

I know you're trying to get sober today but it might have to wait one more day you know I gotta get high.

All your friends think it's funny that we ain't got any money, laying in this dutch motel all day. Laying in bed all day. You know dogs like us, were meant to run wild like wolves. You know dogs like us were meant to run wild like wolves.

But instead we're tamed, by the same damn thing.
I grew up in my old town Lord, it wasn't shit. Got me a new town honey said, Got to get better than this. All this downtown casino living is gonna make you mean. The methadone clinic won't get you sober, but it will get you clean.
