Florida Key

Lyrics

Miami woman so fine and fair
 I try and try but I can't get anywhere
 I sail out under the sun
 Looking for my darling, my only one
 I sail all day, and when the day is done
 She's still the one I want to see
 I must find that Florida Key
 ♪
 Collins Avenue, Fifth Street and Main
 I walk up and down but it's all in vain
 My only darling is gone
 Took everything and put it out on the lawn
 And Jim came and got it and he gave it to John
 It's getting harder and harder to be me
 I must find that Florida Key
 ♪
 Just standing on the curb watching for boats
 While them boys and girls pass by on their big silver goats
 I'm getting out while the getting is good
 In my ship of steel or in my ship of wood
 One more time I'm gonna do just like I should
 See, this could only happen to me
 I must find that Florida Key
 ♪
 Need a little sunshine in my beer
 Thinking 'bout eloping
 Nothing's locked, never will be
 Everything is open
 There's only one thing that lurks in my mind
 It's nothing here, nothing I've left behind
 There's something up front, something I hope to find
 I'm gonna set sail again tonight
 Round the horn and in the clear moonlight
 Or at least I'm sure it's going to be
 Soon as I find my Florida Key
