Story behind the song
Danny and I were having a conversation where I told him how cold it was in Florida, he said I had no idea what cold was all about. Then he said I should write something about freezing in Florida, this is the result of that conversation. Mike had the tune already and the lyric was written to fit the music.

Freezing in The Keys

Verse 1:
On a half broke television
At our favorite tiki bar
Weatherman says it's snowin' where you are
Down here the palms are swaying
A souful guitar man is playing
Our song and it's tearing me apart
Chorus 1:
He's singing 'bout love and laughter
And of happily ever-afters
All those things that now seem out of reach
Since you left me in paradise
My world's turned as cold as ice
Without you here it's freezing in the keys
Verse 2:
That red ball just hit the ocean
Sitting, drinking, drowning my emotions
Wondering, where did our love go
That warm breeze dona€™t help the aching
My poor heart just keeps on breaking
A flame that hot should have never turned so cold
Chorus 2:
Flowered shirts and sun burnt noses
Happy hour here never closes
Feels like its ninty ninty degrees
Since you left me here in paradise
My worlds turned as cold as ice
Without you here it's freezing in the keys
Chorus 3:
I see lovers holding hands
Building castles in the sand, but
There might as well be snow up to my knees
Since you left me here in paradise
My worlds turned as cold as ice
Without you here it's freezing in the keys
