August in Florida

We were sixteen driving too fast
Thought forever was made to last
Wrote our names on the dashboard
Waited outside that first door
And twenty-eight hit in three weeks
Pain comes early or it comes cheap
Wrote your name in every song
Tell my friends I did you wrong
I bet it's nice in August in Florida
Bet you see the sunshine a little more there
And the power lines aren't buried in snow
Forgot how the smell of your hair goes
And your voice is just a half-formed memory
Of you telling me you can't be held to tragedy
Florida
Florida
Better for ya
For ya
Unless you're lying just a bit
Do you still find my spare trips?
Fell in love four more times
Another plan
Another try
Bet it's nice in August in Florida
Bet you see the sunshine a little more there
And the power lines aren't buried in snow
Forgot how the smell of your hair goes
And your voice is just a half-formed memory
Of you telling me you can't be held to tragedy
Florida
Florida
Better for ya
For ya
Little beach town memories don't last forever
I hope your dogs are happy as they chase the coyotes
Little beach town memories don't last forever
I hope your dogs are happy as they chase tat coyotes
