Story Behind The Song
Every year, my family took a car trip to Florida. On this trip we always used to pass through and sometime stay in a town called Florence, North Carolina. One particular time we somehow missed the town and everyone was wondering, "what became of Florence?"

Lyrics
(What's Become of ?) Florence
by Robert Porembski
Can you tell me what's become of Florence?
She slipped out from right under my nose.
Can you tell me what's become of Florence?
Where she spends her time and where she goes.
I told her that she would get in trouble,
If she kept on goin' with that guy.
I told her that she would get in trouble.
Now that it's happened, she does not know why.
Florence was a good girl,
But good girls can go bad.
A quite misunderstood girl,
Searching for a love she never had.
They say time can cure all ills and troubles.
But in this case I don't think it can.
Why a man should lose his only daughter?
Is something I just can't understand.
Florence, please come home.
Oh girl, why do you roam?
Florence, please come home.
Girl, why do you roam?
