Don't Let Me Die in Florida

歌詞

(Chorus) Please don’t let me die in Florida I don’t care about my name If you catch me dying in Daytona Roll my bed on to a train (Verse) I was born in Indian summer In the South End long ago And those dirty streets cried out for rain And this is what I know And the rains came and they only stopped Just in time for snow And the icy cold filled up my shoes And this is what I know (Chorus) Please don’t let me die in Florida I don’t care about my name If you catch me dying in Orlando Roll my bed on to a train (Bridge) (Verse) Well I went to war to fight the Japs When the war was over I threw my cap Just as far as you could throw a thing I went home and gave my girl a ring I put the highways and the black top down Turned the prairies into the towns And those hills gave way just like a wedding gown I put the highways and the black top down (Bridge) (Verse) I don’t need to see no mirror I ain’t never gonna see my own face Just a reflection of somebody Who’s gonna leave without a trace Roll me over over them hills so old and proud Let the night come in and lay my shroud I ain’t never been to Cal-i -forn-aye-ay Maybe that’s where I should end my days (Chorus) Please don’t let me die in Florida, I don’t care about my name If you catch me dying in Orlando Roll my bed on to a train
