Talk Me Out Of Tampa lyrics

Eighty dollars round trip, anywhere you fly
Well, that sounds like a winner, but before I book the flight
Hey, talk me out of Tampa
Well, tell me `bout New Orleans, just when is that Mardi Gras?
Well, then how about Chicago?
Is it cold there now or not?
Talk me out of Tampa

I mean surely there`s a hurricane due to hit there any day
Won`t that close the beaches and the airport?
Or maybe it`s still way too hot or did I hear
Somewhere you stopped flyin` into that part of the country?
You can think of somethin` can`t ya?
Just talk me out of Tampa

Between that first ride at Busch Gardens
And room eight, Bayside Motel
There`s no way around the memories
Don`t let me do this to myself
Talk me out of Tampa
I`d just wind up at her front door
She`s still living there, I bet
Oh, but what if she`s not there alone
There goes what pride that I`ve got left
Talk me out of Tampa, please

I mean surely there`s a hurricane due to hit there any day
Won`t that close the beaches and the airport?
Or maybe it`s still way too hot or did I hear
Somewhere you stopped flyin` into that part of the country?
You can think of somethin` can`t ya?
Just talk me out of Tampa

Put me somewhere, nowhere even close
To where I feel when my heart broke
Exactly six months ago this weekend
I just need to get away
Without your help, ma`am, I`m afraid
It wouldn`t be a getaway at all
You can make up somethin` can`t ya?
Just talk me out of Tampa
Eight dollars round trip, anywhere you fly
