Hoot movie - Floridays lyrics

Song by Jimmy Buffett<br /><br>

I come from where the rivers meet the sea <br>

That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free <br>

I was early into crazy ways <br>

My folks said, "It's just a phase" <br>

They were hoping for better days<br>

<br>

Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most <br>

Write 'em down, pas 'em around <br>

It's the gospel from the coast <br>

Reflections, not just replays <br>

Takin' time to escape the maze <br>

Lookin' for better days <br>

<br>

I spent a year of my life one night <br>

On the beaches in old Beirut <br>

Seems that all they're aimin' for there <br>

Is to hang around and shoot <br>

Each others' lives away <br>

Bloody winds on a distant bay <br>

They're lookin' for better days <br>

<br>

Looking to the left, looking to the right <br>

Looking to the stars to shed some light <br>

Hoping for a breath, hoping for break <br>

Hopin' for the give without the take <br>

<br>

The dreamers line the state road <br>

Just to watch the runway show <br>

Slouched behind their steering wheels <br>

They just watch the big jets go <br>

Streakin' through the morning haze <br>

Focal point of a distant gaze <br>

Lookin' for better days <br>

<br>

Pale invaders and tanned crusaders <br>

Are worshipping the sun <br>

On the corner of "walk" and "don't walk" <br>

Somewhere on US 1 <br>

I'm back to livin' Floridays <br>

Blue skies and ultra-violet rays <br>

Lookin' for better days <br>

<br>

I'm back to livin' Floridays <br>

Blue skies and ultra-violet rays <br>

Lookin' for better days, lookin' for better days <br>

Lookin' for Floridays <br>

<br>

Better days, better days <br>

Everybody's lookin' for better days <br>

Somewhere beneath the shining star <br>

Better days, mon't you take me to better days <br>

Better days, I sure could use a few better days <br>

Floridays <br>

<br>
