Verse 1 I was raised where the sunrise breaks over the blue, Bare feet in the sand, salt air rolling through, Where the palms bend low when the hurricanes come, You learn pretty young what you’re made of and where you’re from. I’ve had love leave scars that the sunshine couldn’t hide, Cried enough tears to raise an incoming tide, But every time my heart washed up shattered on the shore, I heard a voice say, Daughter, I’ve still got more. Chorus I’m a Florida girl with a heart that’s been broken, A Bible on the table and prayers I’ve left unspoken, I’ve watched love walk away, watched my whole world change, But God held me steady through the wind and the rain. Give me saltwater, a sunset, and an old country song, A little front-porch faith when everything goes wrong, Yeah, heartache may bend me, but it won’t take my soul— I’m a Florida girl, and God’s still in control. Verse 2 I’ve driven A1A with the windows rolled down, Trying to outrun memories that keep coming around, Watched the Atlantic turn from silver into gold, Thinking ‘bout the things I lost and the ones I couldn’t hold. I ain’t saying faith makes the hurting disappear, Sometimes believing still comes with a river full of tears, But I’ve seen morning rise after my darkest nights, And I’ve felt Heaven meet me underneath those Florida skies. Chorus I’m a Florida girl with a heart that’s been broken, A Bible on the table and prayers I’ve left unspoken, I’ve watched love walk away, watched my whole world change, But God held me steady through the wind and the rain. Give me saltwater, a sunset, and an old country song, A little front-porch faith when everything goes wrong, Yeah, heartache may bend me, but it won’t take my soul— I’m a Florida girl, and God’s still in control. Bridge I’ve learned storms don’t mean that Heaven turned away, Sometimes thunder rolls right before a brand-new day. And these scars on my heart ain’t something I regret, They’re proof I’ve been through hell— And my God ain’t lost me yet. Final Chorus I’m a Florida girl, I’ve been down, I’ve been tested, Lost some things I loved, but Lord, I’ve still been blessed, With the ocean at my feet and His mercy on my mind, I’m learning some goodbyes are just blessings in disguise. So give me saltwater, a sunrise, and an old country song, Jesus in my heart reminding me I’m strong, I may carry some heartache everywhere I go— But I’m Florida born, country raised, And God’s still got my soul. Outro Yeah, the tide keeps turning, And this heart keeps learning— No matter how far I fall… God’s still got this Florida girl through it all.
