Florida State Road 5 Allegro v2

E Major, 132 bpm tempo, bluegrass, acoustic guitar, electric piano, moderately fast

V4.5

[Verse 1]
Well, I’m rollin’ down old Florida State Road 5,
With the sun in my eyes and my heart feelin’ alive.
No signs to guide me, just a lonesome stretch of road,
But the stories of the highway lighten up my load.
From Jacksonville’s hustle, where the St. Johns River flows,
To Miami’s neon glow where the palm tree breezes blow.
It’s a trail of dreams and memories, this old unmarked way,
State Road 5 keeps callin’ me to ramble on today.
[Chorus]
Oh, State Road 5, you’re a mystery to me,
No signs to show your name, but your spirit runs free.
With US-1 and 17, you’re ridin’ side by side,
Through Florida’s heart, on this wild and wondrous ride.
[Verse 2]
Start in Jacksonville, where US-17 joins the track,
Past St. Augustine’s old fort, ain’t no lookin’ back.
Daytona’s beaches call my name, with the racin’ in the air,
State Road 5 and US-1, they’ll take you anywhere.
Through Titusville, where rockets soar to kiss the starry skies,
To Melbourne’s shores and Vero Beach, where the seagulls cry.
It runs with US-1, like a river to the sea,
This old road’s got a story that’s a-callin’ out to me.
[Chorus]
Oh, State Road 5, you’re a mystery to me,
No signs to show your name, but your spirit runs free.
With US-1 and 17, you’re ridin’ side by side,
Through Florida’s heart, on this wild and wondrous ride.
[Verse 3]
Down in Key Largo, the Overseas Highway begins,
Where the bridges stretch like ribbons and the ocean always grins.
From Islamorada to Key West, where the sunsets paint the skies,
State Road 5’s still ridin’, though its name’s in disguise.
No markers tell its number, but its path is true and wide,
Through mangroves and the coral reefs, with the Gulf on either side.
It’s US-1 down to the Keys, but State Road 5’s the soul,
A hidden thread through Florida that makes this journey whole.
[Chorus]
Oh, State Road 5, you’re a mystery to me,
No signs to show your name, but your spirit runs free.
With US-1 and 17, you’re ridin’ side by side,
Through Florida’s heart, on this wild and wondrous ride.
[Bridge]
From Palatka’s quiet rivers to Fort Lauderdale’s glow,
West Palm’s fancy streets to where the conch folks go.
This road’s a secret traveler, no signs to call its own,
But State Road 5’s the heartbeat of the places I’ve been shown.
[Verse 4]
Now I’m sittin’ in Key West, where the road comes to an end,
With a banjo on my knee and a letter left to send.
State Road 5, you’ve carried me through cities big and small,
From the mainland to the islands, you’ve been my faithful call.
[Chorus]
Oh, State Road 5, you’re a mystery to me,
No signs to show your name, but your spirit runs free.
With US-1 and 17, you’re ridin’ side by side,
Through Florida’s heart, on this wild and wondrous ride.
[Outro]
So here’s to State Road 5, unmarked but ever true,
From Jacksonville to the Keys, it’s the road that sees you through.
With the Overseas Highway shinin’ under moonlit skies,
I’ll sing of State Road 5 ‘til the day I say goodbye.
