The Lyrics
When I first heard the song "Dublin Sky" I thought that the name of my town, Davie, fit perfectly. Both start with a "D' and have two syllables. Perfect for a parody, right? So as a tribute to my town, I decided to make fun of it. Davie is home to 80,000 residents who live across a lush 34.4 square miles within central Broward County in South Florida, just west of Fort Lauderdale. This small town's rural atmosphere, western theme district and sprawling educational complex produce an environment that separates Davie from all other municipalities in Broward County. Now, don't get me wrong, I love this town. Green grass everywhere, very nice people, etc. But it makes the song funnier if I complain about it, so I exaggerated a few things to write "Davie Sky."
I've been down a rocky street tonight
And I know what's behind me
And I know what's next for me
The clouds cover up a Davie sky
Rodeo is left of me
Gas station is right of me
And I tried to keep my distance
And I screamed across the hall
They told me we were gonna move to the tiny, little town: Davie
Davie
I remember holding onto the doorknob
Trying to keep them from pulling me
Trying to keep them from taking me
And my trembling hands they slid right off
Into the car they pushed me in
Into the car we drove to Davie
And I saw the horse's stables
And I saw the cowboy hats
And I saw the Wendy's and Burger King on the same corner with McDonalds
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
McDonalds
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
Yeah, they sent me all the way from Lauderdale
Maybe that Davie sky was changing me
It put cow dung in my eyes
I always thought I'd get out of that town
But I have lived here for so many years
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
How many days am I gonna regret this?
How many nights "til I forget this?
Have I been wasting all those years
Covering my ears?
How many dreams have the horses stomped on?
How many hopes were left on the lawn?
Have I been buried in the dirt
With this flannel shirt?
And how many cars did I have to hijack?
How many times did they force me to go back?
How did I end up lying here
Cryin' underneath the Davie sky?
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
And I know what's behind me
And I know what's next for me
The clouds cover up a Davie sky
Rodeo is left of me
Gas station is right of me
And I tried to keep my distance
And I screamed across the hall
They told me we were gonna move to the tiny, little town: Davie
Davie
I remember holding onto the doorknob
Trying to keep them from pulling me
Trying to keep them from taking me
And my trembling hands they slid right off
Into the car they pushed me in
Into the car we drove to Davie
And I saw the horse's stables
And I saw the cowboy hats
And I saw the Wendy's and Burger King on the same corner with McDonalds
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
McDonalds
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
Yeah, they sent me all the way from Lauderdale
Maybe that Davie sky was changing me
It put cow dung in my eyes
I always thought I'd get out of that town
But I have lived here for so many years
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
How many days am I gonna regret this?
How many nights "til I forget this?
Have I been wasting all those years
Covering my ears?
How many dreams have the horses stomped on?
How many hopes were left on the lawn?
Have I been buried in the dirt
With this flannel shirt?
And how many cars did I have to hijack?
How many times did they force me to go back?
How did I end up lying here
Cryin' underneath the Davie sky?
Oh, oh, oh, hoo
