Florida Man -“yes m’am” - final

V5.5

[Intro – spoken, casual] Now I ain’t sayin’ it’s normal… But down here… it ain’t that strange… ⸻ [Verse 1] I was drivin’ down I-75 Sun beatin’ down, just tryin’ to stay alive When I saw somethin’ I won’t forget Made me laugh and shake my head Pickup truck flyin’ like a hurricane In the back was Grandma ridin’ the lane Wheelchair strapped, hair in the breeze Wavin’ like she’s sailin’ the seas ⸻ [Chorus] That’s Florida Man, yes ma’am Livin’ life with a sunburned tan A little bit wild, a little unplanned But he’ll still tip his hat and say “yes ma’am” That’s Florida Man, don’t you see A little chaos, a little country He might wrestle gators before breakfast time Then help you cross the street just fine ⸻ [Verse 2] Saw him barefoot at a gas station stop Talkin’ to a gator like it’s his pet croc Said “move along now, you’re blockin’ the way” Then gave it a nudge like it’s just another day Beer in a cooler, fishin’ pole in hand Radio playin’ a steel drum band He’ll fix your tire if you’re stuck roadside Then disappear with the tide ⸻ [Chorus] That’s Florida Man, yes ma’am A little crazy, but he means no harm He’ll make you laugh when you don’t understand That easy goin’ Florida Man That’s Florida Man, true and free Half sun, half lunacy But there’s a heart underneath that tan Beat-in’ strong in a Florida Man ⸻ [Bridge – slower, a little heartfelt] Now people laugh from far away But down here we just shrug and say… “He’s one of ours, he’ll be alright…” Just keep him out past midnight ⸻ [Final Chorus – big, fun singalong] That’s Florida Man, yes ma’am Livin’ loud in a laid-back land A little bit lost, but part of the plan That beautiful, wild Florida Man That’s Florida Man, raise a glass To the stories that’ll always last From I-75 to the ocean sand Long live that crazy Florida Man ⸻ [Outro – spoken, smiling] And if you see him… Just wave… He’ll wave back… Yes ma’am 😄🌴
