Patty Griffin - Don’t Let Me Die In Florida текст песни

Please don't let me die in Florida
I don't care about my name
If you catch me dying and they don't know
Throw my bed on a train

I was born in Indian summer
In the south long ago
Where those dirty streets cry out for rain
And this is what I know

And the rain came and it only stopped
Just in time for snow
And the icey cold filled up my shoes
And this is what I know

Please don't let me die in Florida
I don't care about my name
If you catch me dying in Orlando
Throw my bed onto a train

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 at home and gave my girl a ring
I put the highways and the black top down
Turn the ferries into the towns
And those hills give away just like a wedding gown
I put the highways and the black top down

I don't need to see no mirror
I ain't never to see my own face
Just a reflection of somebody
Who's gonna leave without a trace

Roll me over them hills so gold and proud
Let the night come in and lay my shred
I never been to California ey
Maybe that's where I should end my days

Don't let me die in Florida
I don't care about my name
If you catch me dying and they don't know
Throw my bed onto a train
