letra de florida man - jack droppers & the best intentions

[verse 1]
muggy summer afternoon laying down
on the sh-g carpet bas-m-nt floor in my hometown
thinkin’ ’bout my childhood reverie
of gettin’ out of this place before it k!lls me
southern mothers will insist that you know the lord
but i’d have rather been a dirty sinner than a little bored
so now i’m quite a ways off from the man i’m made out to be
a little closer to the swampland vagrant i was as a teen

[pre-chorus]
and i guess that that state raised me
in ways i can’t articulate
like a coastline being shaped by hurricanes

[chorus]
you can take me as far away as one person can
separate my body far from my homeland
but there’s a part of me you should really understand
i will always be a florida man

[verse 2]
i used to dream when i escaped, i’d fall right into fame
be a name that you’d recognize and either love or hate
maybe i would write a few of those all time greatest hits
have a public funeral in orlando like a real revered artist
but once i sat in stand still traffic behind a big black he-rs-
i was going five miles to the hour but they still had it worse
’cause the last place that body saw above the earth’s floor
was bumper to bumper out on interstate four
[pre-chorus]
and i’m sure that that state changed me
in ways that i cannot describe
’cause when i count something i always count it twice

[chorus]
whether i’ve moved out to timbuktu or i’ve moved to michigan
if dementia ever hits me and i don’t know where i am
or if in fifty years the ocean swallows the land
i’ll still always be a florida man
