Don't Let Me Die In Florida

Please don't let me die in Florida I don't care about my name If you catch me dying in Daytona Throw my bed onto a train I was born in Indian summer In the South, long ago And those dirty streets cried out for rain And this is what I know And the rains came and they only stopped Just in time for snow And the icy cold filled up my shoes And this is what 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 home and gave my girl a ring I put the highways and the blacktop down Turned the prairies into the towns And those hills gave a way just like a wedding gown I put the highways and the blacktop down I don't need to see no mirror I ain't never gonna see my own face Just a reflection of somebody Who's gonna leave without a trace Roll me over them hills so golden brown Let the night come in and lay my shroud I never been to California 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 in Orlando Throw my bed onto a train
