Florida Sun Poem by Tamisha Bellamy

We traveled from Michigan to Florida
We had no idea what we'd see or who we'd meet
Never mind what we'd eat cuz i had you and you had me
As we made our way to Florida
We hitch-hiked before resting our frozen feet
Never mind where we'd sleep cuz i had you and you had me

As much as we would like to
We can't linger too long under the Florida Sun
As hard as we try to
We can't dodge what they put in the papers
'Fugitives on the run'
We say we are fugitives in love
But no matter what we call ourselves- we know we have to leave the Florida Sun and keep moving along

From Edgewater to Key West- they were tracking us
From the keys to Miami
From Miami and stopping at Daytona they closed in on us
In the time of frustration comes time to fill up on beers
For every hour gone by without getting caught- brings on extra relief and cheers
In my moment of paranoya i express what might be my last words in your ears
Aileen, come on, lets get out of here

As much as we would like to
We can't linger too long under the Florida Sun
As hard as we try to
We can't dodge what they put in the papers
'Fugitives on the run'
We say we are fugitives in love
But no matter what we call ourselves- we know we have to leave the Florida Sun and keep moving along

I wish we had never left Michigan
But then again- i'd follow you anywhere
I wish we had never left Michigan
But then again- i'd follow you anywhere
With that being said, Aileen, come on, lets get out of here
