Talk Me Out of Tampa

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Well, tell me 'bout New Orleans, just when is that Mardi Gras? Well then how about Chicago? Is it still cold there now or not? Talk me out of Tampa [Chorus] 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 to 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 to 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Tag] Eighty dollars 'round trip, anywhere you fly
