Don't Let Me Die in Florida

Don't Let Me Die in Florida - Patty Griffin (派蒂·格里芬)

Please don't let me die in Florida

I don't care about my name

If you catch me dying in Dekona

Throw my bed on to a train

I was born in Indian summer

In the Southern long ago

Where those dirty streets cry out for rain

And this is what I know

And the rain came and the holly stopped

Just in time for snow

And the icey cold filled up my shoes

And this is what I 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 on to a train

Run away into water

Find the jams of what was over

Right through my cap

Just as fun as you could tell a thing

I went at home and gave my girl a ring

I put the highways at a black time down

Turn the ferries into the towns

And those hills give away just like a wedding gown

I put the highways at a black time down

I don't need to see no mirror

I am never to see my own face

Just a reflection of somebody

Who's gonna leave without a trace

Oh over the hills so gold and proud

Let the night come in and lay my shread

I never been to killer from around here

Maybe that's where I should end my days

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 on to a train
