Albert's Song

Sitting here in Florida, oh so far
Playing my old Spanish guitar
Over the ocean long ago
I got me this Flamenco

Whatever’s coming next
You don’t want to know
Something mean in the wind
It’s gonna take your breath away
Everybody wants to make a lot of money and walk away

Land of the python, Sunshine State
Too damn hot to contemplate
Living with a swamp under our feet
In a theme park
From Gulf to shining sea

There’s a python in the backyard
Don’t know right from wrong
There’s a man with a guitar
Playing a song
Early in the morning
At the break of dawn
All you got to do is shake your ****
And carry on

Come here ladies, gather ‘round
Listen to what Albert’s putting down
Don’t look like much going down
Till you hear him make that sound

Back off your troubles
Put your sunshine on
There’s a python in the backyard
Don’t know right from wrong
A woman from Miami
Walked a crooked mile
All the way from Hypoluxo
To the Miracle Mile
Sometimes it gets so dumb and ugly
Nothing left to do but smile

Whatever’s coming next
You don’t want to know
Something evil in the wind
It’s gonna take your breath away
Babies shooting babies
Jus’ like the Bible say
Everybody wants to make a lot of money and walk away
Everybody wants to make a lot of money and walk away
