Hello all. My name is Lochloosa. [View all]

[Lochloosa]

My name comes from a song by a local group. You may have heard of them. J.J. Grey and Mofro.

This song is about the destruction of my beloved Florida. I grew up in the Panhandle of Florida and played on our beautiful Gulf beaches, explored the deep swamps and backwaters of some of the most diverse and beautifully mysterious parts of Florida.

I miss my it.

LOCHLOOSA by Mofro

Home sick but it s alright
Lochloosa is on my mind
She s on my mind
I swear it s ten thousand degrees in the shade
Lord have mercy knows – how much I love it
Every mosquito every rattlesnake
Every cane break – everything
Every alligator every blackwater swamp
Every freshwater spring – everything
All we need is one more damn developer
Tearing her heart out
All we need is one more Mickey Mouse
Another golf course another country club
Another gated community
Lord I need her
Lord I need her
And she s slipping away
If my grandfather could see her now
He d lay down and die
Cause every minute every second every hour
Every day – Lord she s slipping away
Home sick but it s alright
Lochloosa is on my mind
She s on my mind
