  • You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too
    They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true
    And my friends all smell like weed or little babies
    And this city reeks of driving myself crazy

    Little did you know
    Your home's really only a town you're just a guest in
    So you work your life away
    Just to pay for a timeshare down in Destin

    Florida is one hell of a drug
    Florida, can I use you up?

    A hurricane with my name when it came
    I got drunk and I dared it to wash me away
    Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine
    Well, me and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time
    Yes, I'm haunted but I'm feeling just fine
    All my girls got their lace and their crimes
    And your cheating husband disappeared
    Well, no one asks any questions here

    So I did my best to lay to rest
    All of the bodies that have ever been on my body
    And in my mind, they sink into the swamp
    Is that a bad thing to say in a song?

    Little did you know
    Your home's really only the town you'll get arrested
    So you pack your life away
    Just to wait out the firestorm back in Texas

    Florida is one hell of a drug
    Florida, can I use you up?

    I need to forget, so take me to Florida
    I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida
    Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable
    At least the dolls are beautiful, f- me up, Florida

    I need to forget, so take me to Florida
    I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida
    Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable
    What a crash, what a rush, f- me up, Florida

    It's one hell of a drug
    It's one hell of a drug
    Love left me like this and I don't want to exist
    So take me to Florida

    Little did you know
    Your home's really only a town you're just a guest in (take me to Florida)
    So you work your life away
    Just to pay for a timeshare down in Destin (take me to Florida)
    Little did you know
    Your home's really only the town you'll get arrested (take me to Florida)
    So you pack your life away
    Just to wait out the firestorm back in Texas (take me to)

    Florida is one hell of a drug (take me to)
    Florida, can I use you up?
    Florida is one hell of a drug
    Florida, can I use you up? Writer/s: Florence Leontine Mary Welch, Taylor Swift
