sunny florida road

(bruce springsteen)

At sixteen she quit high school to make her fortune in the promised land

She got a job behind the counter in an all night hamburger stand

She wrote faithfully home to mama

Now mama don't you worry none

From small things, mama

Big things one day come

It was late one Friday he pulled in out of the dark

He was tall and handsome; first she took his order, then she took his heart

They bought a house up on the hillside

Where little feet soon would run

From small things, mama

Big things one day come

Oh but love is fleeting

it's sad but true

But when your heart is beating

You don't wanna hear the news

She packed her bags:and with a Wyomie County real estate man

 

She ran down to Tampa

In an El Dorado Grande

She wrote back home

Dear Mama

Life is just heaven in the sun

From small things, mama

Big things one day come

Well she shot him dead

On a sunny Florida road

When they caught her all she said

Was she couldn't stand the way he drove

Back home lonesome Johnny

Prays for his baby's parole

He waits on the hillside

Where the Wyomie waters roll

At his feet and almost grown now

A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son

Well from small things, mama

Big things one day come

Well from small things, mama

More Mail-Art I've sent

"Florida Fences"

 

"Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in."

 

some fences,

like the one on the left,

 keep cattle at bay

others, like the one on the right

-which was installed for the

Republican National Convention

in Tampa-

 keep democracy at bay...

 Just used for parking, now.
