Florida Cracker Song Lyrics

Florida Cracker by Tiffany Hulse

[Chorus] Just a Florida cracker, fishing for snapper
In the Gulf of Mexico.
He barely gets paid, and never gets laid
That’s just the way it goes.
[Verse 1] He leaves everyday, weather sunny or gray,
Sets his lines and smokes some weed.
The fishing is great, but he don’t hesitate,
To keep only what he needs.
[Chorus] [Verse 2] Now this long slim man, who fishes by hand,
Refuses to use a fish net.
He gets back to the dock, it says five on the clock,
Yeah, he always gets back by sunset.
[Chorus] [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Three days on the fight, his line’s real tight,
He’ll bring in this fish you can bet.
Fishing’s his life, he ain’t go no wife.
No, he has no regrets.
[Chorus]
