Lyrics

When he was just a young man
Not much more than seventeen
He moved down to Ocala
Left his neighborhood in Queens
He said, "It's gotta be the slowest town"
That he had ever seen

So he called the place "Slocala"
Thinkin' he had been the first
Then he met a native honey
Sayin', "Honey, we've been called that before
And things a whole lot worse"
So she took him to the river
And that's where he wrote this verse

Slocala
You're underneath my skin
Slocala
You're the slowest place that I have ever been
But now I've been here so long, now,
I think I'm finally fittin' in

Well his honey's name was Sally
And Sally drove a motorbike
And she rode him 'round Ocala
To the places that she liked
She'd introduce him as her "Yankee"
And they'd laugh into the night

Now Yankee Boy and Sally
They were quite a crazy pair
But they both liked wearin' leather
And they both had crazy hair
And on their wedding day
They didn't say "I do"
Instead they said, "I dare"

Slocala
You're underneath my skin
Slocala
You're the slowest place that I have ever been
But now I've been here so long, now,
I think I'm finally fittin' in

Now Yankee Boy and Sally
Have a little boy and a little girl
They've given up the leather and the hair
But Sally still has one crazy curl
With a tattoo sayin',
"Home is where the heart is"
And a picture of Ocala
In the center of the world

Slocala
You're underneath my skin
Slocala
You're the slowest place that I have ever been
But now I've been here so long, now,
I think I'm finally fittin' in
