I love Pensacola, and Apalachicola, and Tampa, St. Pete

Maybe misbehave, occasionally  
           G 
I spend a fair amount of time at the Flora-Bama line 
             D 
Destined to hang out more at Mobile and Gulf Shores

A very special chart, is locked in my heart,

Of places that I love to be
