Verse 1
I come from where the rivers meet the sea
That's part of why I'm so wild and fancy free
I was early into crazy ways
My folks said it's just a phase
They were hoping for better days
Verse 2
Now in my line of work I seem to see a lot more than most
Write 'em down and pass 'em around, it's the gospel from the coast
Reflections not just replays
Taking time to escape the maze
Lookin' for better days
Verse 3
I spent a year of my life one night on the beaches in ole Beirut
Seems that all they're aimin' for there is to hang around and shoot
Each others' lives away
Bloody winds on a distant bay
They're lookin' for better days
Bridge
Lookin' to the left, lookin' to the right
Looking to the stars to shed some light
Hoping for a breath, hoping for a break
Hoping for the give without the take
Verse 4
The dreamers line the state road just to watch the runway show
Slouched behind their steering wheels they just watch the big jets go
Streakin' through the morning haze
Focal point of a distant gaze
Lookin' for better days

Verse 5
Pale invaders and tanned crusaders are worshipping the sun
On the corner of walk and don't walk somewhere on U.S. 1
Chorus
I'm back to livin' Floridays
Blue skies and ultra violet rays
Lookin' for better days
I'm back to live in Floridays
Blue skies and ultra violet rays
Lookin' for better days, lookin' for better days
Lookin' for better days, lookin' for Floridays
Outro
Bet - ter days
Bet - ter days (everybody's lookin' for)
Bet - ter days (somewhere beneath the shining star)
Bet - ter days (take me, won't you take me to)
Bet - ter days (sure could use a few)
Bet - ter days
Flor - i - days
