Florida Lyrics

Florida. Florida, the redneck riviera
Florida. Florida, there's no more pathetic place in America
A man must make unpopular decisions surely from time to time
And a man can only stand what a man can stand
It's a wobbly, volatile line
Florida. Florida, the water table is fucked
Florida. Florida., there's no more perfect place to give it all up
A man must take his life in his own hands
Hit those nails on the head
And I respect a man who goes to where he wants to be
Even if he wants to be dead
Florida,Florida, it's a tropical paradise
Florida, Florida, there's no more perfect place to retire from life

Cover art for Florida lyrics by Vic Chesnutt

Nobody has commented on this great song so I will. Supposedly Vic wrote this song about somebody he knew who moved to Florida and ended up commiting suicide by shooting himself in the head with a nail gun. Anyway, despite the gloomy story it is a great song by a great songwriter.

@bhoover247 Exactly. The man's name was Steve Buzcko, he was a close friend of Vic's.
