Lyrics
- Orlando
- Words And Music By
- Cheryl Wheeler
- Flat and dusty southern cities
- Yawn and stretch along the highway
- Grinnin' black men shuffle past in flappin' shoes
- All night factories and fruit stands
- Shadowed buildings where the nudes dance
- On the night road, off the palm treed avenues
- Bare white lights flash 'round the signs that
- Promise ladies in the raw
- With buzzin' bug wings around the light strings and on the road
- Cops who live law and prevention
- With American intention
- Just had to make sure how much that last girl really showed
- Come to Orlando
- Come for a grand old time
- Florida sun don't shine
- On this night road
- Decked out dolls in slinky dresses
- Stroll the shadows for a late ride
- Till patrol cars herd'em on or maybe pay
- Guys in t-shirts worn for too long
- Chevy radios with the blues on
- Dark and southern, so much more than far away
- 5/21/80
