lyrics

Ryan, Ryan, where’d you go?
What’s Florida got that I can’t show?
Someone blonder, are his legs longer? With skin like bronze and eyes like summer?
Why’d you go and make me Flori-die?

Ryan, tell me why’d you go?
And trade the smell of pines for orange groves?
Something finer than Carolina, sunshinier, boy I’m a whiner,
But you went and made me Flori-die

Darlin’, Darlin', how’s the snow?
I didn’t know cold until I let you go,
If you’d been braver, if I’d felt safer, if you’d said stay boy I’d still be there,
The sun could shine until the end of time, it couldn’t dry my cryin’ wishin’ you were mine,
Why’d you go and let me Flori-die?
