lyrics

I miss the steely gray of a Southern sky
above a misty marsh of herons floating lazily above the grainy reeds.
wanna go camping neath the pine trees
Blanket of needles brown cushioning each footfall
As we melt into the backwoods of my soul.

Yeah and I'm a Florida girl
Mellowed and sweetened by the sun.
I got a Cuban soul with a redneck spine.
Just a southern belle a little too south of the line.

Spanish moss dripping off the trees and I stare at them as I catch a breeze.
Swimmin in the humid waves of jasmine scented southern summer air.
You learn the art of sitting still,
The sun's a teacher, won't rest until you're pliant as the tender sweet surrender of desire.

Yeah and I'm a Florida girl
Mellowed and sweetened by the sun.
I got a Cuban soul with a redneck spine.
Just a southern belle a little too south of the line.

Bury me beneath the magnolia tree in the backyard
covered with azaleas coral pink. So I can listen to the frog and cricket full moon serenade and blink through the air around your jasmine-haunted dreams.

Well, I'm a Yankee now by address
And yes, I love the flash and buzz
Even if it sometimes snows in April
It's a different pace in a smaller space and I move through these streets like lightning, but every now and then I slow down to a drawl.

Yeah and I'm a Florida girl
Mellowed and sweetened by the sun.
I got a Cuban soul with a redneck spine.
Just a southern belle a little too south of the line.
