Lyrics

Out beyond the sawgrass
on a stormy summer day
I hear the thunder rolling
from across the Everglades
I'm still trying to find you
but I'm a thousand miles behind you
on the same old road
that never seems to take me home
I'm always stranded somewhere in the distance
singing one more bittersweet refrain
in the Florida rain

I've always been a drifter
living in my dreams
a minstrel and a gambler
taken to extremes
this longing that's inside me
is the music that defines me
on the same old road
that never seems to take me home
I'm always stranded somewhere in the distance
singing one more bittersweet refrain
in the Florida rain

Somewhere in the shadows
where day is night and night is day
all my loneliness and sorrow
will be washed away

I'm still trying to find you
but I'm a thousand miles behind you
on the same old road
that never seems to take me home
I'm always stranded somewhere in the distance
singing one more bittersweet refrain
in the Florida rain
in the Florida rain.
