  			Intro  
 
(E) Got my suntan oil, and a rebel flag 
Stuck a Florida road map in my saddle (B) bag 
I think Panam(A)a (E) City, would be a good place to start 
On this little vacation, to loosen up my (B) heart 
Orange Bloss(A)om (E) trail, over into Orlando 
I heard some wild tales about the women there, standin' out on the (B) road 
And when you leave (A) out of (E) there, on a midnight ride 
Take the highway down to that famous (B) town, on the ocean(E)side 
 
(B) Daytona (A) nights - they make you (E) dance 
All the girls got that (A) centerfold pose 
And they all got a (E) tan 
And if they're lookin' for love 
It's like a risin' (A) tide 
And it will swallow you (E) up 
Like sand to the (B) hubs 
Daytona (E) nights 
 
Now the Boothill Sal(E)oon and the Last Resort 
That's a few of the sights, ya need to be lookin' (B) for 
Hawaiian Trop(A)ic (E) women, they got the best buns of all 
I love the way they sway when they walk up and say 
"Hey, and how are (B) ya'll" 
So we swam (A) all (E) day, and we played all night 
And I never wanna leave this free as a (B) breeze 
Daytona (E) life 
Never... 
 
(B) Daytona (A) nights - they make you (E) dance 
All the girls got that (A) centerfold pose 
And they all got a (E) tan 
And if they're lookin' for love 
It's like a risin' (A) tide 
And it will swallow you (E) up 
Like sand to the (B) hubs 
Daytona (E) nights 
 
Yes, if they're lookin' for love 
It's like a stormy (A) tide 
And it will swallow you (E) up 
Like sand to the (B) hubs 
Daytona (E) nights 
Stuck in those Daytona nights 
(B) (A) (E) 
Here comes the tide...
