JJ McCoy - Sunshine State lyrics

rate me

Key of E, No Capo

Verse 1

Ridin' shot gun in a hummer

But this one is dark green

It ain't covered in chrome

With the radio on like the ones

We have back home

We're dodgin' suicide bombers

That are ready to die, skys lit up

Like the fourth of July

Man I'd give anything to be back in the USA

CHORUS

Like in Panama City 'round spring break

Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake

Walkin' Duval Street with a margarita in my hand

At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise

Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys

Man I tell y'all it sure would be great

If I could just get back home to the Sunshine State

Verse 2

I got sand in my eyes and sand in my shoes

Everybody here's got the home sick blues

Sent Billy and Jimmy home in a box last night

Well my bunk mate Andy grew up on a farm

Just last week he lost his right arm

Now he cries him self to sleep most every night

We work sixteen hours sleep about two, spend the

Rest of the day wonderin' how to get through

Man I'd give anything to be back on friendly ground

CHORUS

Like in Panama City 'round spring break

Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake

Walkin' Duval Street with a margarita in my hand

At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise

Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys

Man I tell y'all it sure would be great

If I could just get back home to the Sunshine State

Bridge

Found this letter in a pocket of a soldier I lost

He was a hell of a fighter and he paid the cost

Think you'll find everything you'll need here in what I read

You'll know exactly where he'd want these ashes spread

Like in Panama City 'round spring break

Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake

Walkin Duval Street with a margarita in your hand

At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise

Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys

Man this soldier I'm talkin' 'bout sure was great

Glad he finally made it home to the Sunshine State

To the Sunshine State...
