Florida Lyrics

Good afternoon from the bar in the mall
They sent me home from work today
But a buddy told me where else to go
My boss was alright at first
Then he said that I fall behind
I like doing things my own way
And I don't take no shit from anyone

Florida
Florida
My ex-girlfriend's a model in Florida
Florida
Florida
I got lots of friends in Florida

I can fly and it doesn't hurt now
I can live with whoever, fuck you
My ex-girlfriend's a model in Florida
She wants me back but I don't take no shit

It's later on
Once again at the bar
I picked this Bad Company song
And I can play it pretty good on the guitar
Looks like I missed the goddamn bus
Do you think that I could get a ride?
I like doing things my own way
And I don't take no shit from anyone

Florida
Florida
My ex-girlfriend's a model in Florida
Florida
Florida
Got lots of friends in Florida!

I can fly and it doesn't hurt now
I can live with whoever, fuck you
My ex-girlfriend's a model in Florida
She wants me back and I don't take no shit
No shit
No shit
Don't take no shit
Take no shit

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"I can fly and it doesn't hurt now I can live with whoever, fuck you"

I'm pretty sure that part is actually:

"I got pride, it doesn't hide now I can live at the river, fuck you"
