Floridays
By: Jimmy Buffett
1986

G                     Am7             D
I come from where the rivers meet the sea
G                         Am7            D 
That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free
                   Am         B-C
I was early in the crazy ways
C                               D
My folks said it's just a phase
                     G          C  G C
They were hopin' for better days

Now in my line of work, I seem to see a lot more than most
Write 'em down, pass 'em around, it's the gospel from the coast
Reflections, not just replays
Takin' time to escape the maze
Lookin' for better days

I spent a year of my life one night on the beaches of old Beruit 
Seems that all they're aimin' for there is to hang around and shoot 
Each other's lives away
Bloody winds on a distant bay
They're looking for a better day

	Am             C
	Lookin' to the left
	Am             C
	Lookin' to the right
	Am                                C    
	Lookin' to the stars to shed some light
	Hopin' for a breath
	Hopin' for a break
	Hopin' for the give without the take

The dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show
Slouched behind their steering wheels they just watch the big jets go
Streakin' through the mornin' haze
Focal point of a distant gaze
Looking for better days

INSTRUMENTAL

Pale invaders and tan crusaders worshipping the sun
On the corner of Walk and Don't Walk somewhere on U.S. 1
I'm back to live in Floridays
Blue skies and ultravioley rays
Lookin' for a better day

I'm back to live in Floridays
Blue skies and ultraviolet rays
Lookin for a better day
