Perdido Key, Florida

Perdido Key, Florida is an unincorporated community in Escambia County, Florida, United States, between Pensacola, Florida and Orange Beach, Alabama. "Perdido" means "lost" in the Spanish language. The community is located on and named for Perdido Key, a barrier island in northwest Florida and southeast Alabama. The Florida district of the Gulf Islands National Seashore includes the east end of the island, as well as other Florida islands. No more than a few hundred yards wide in most places, Perdido Key stretches some 16 miles (26 km) from near Pensacola to Perdido Pass Bridge near Orange Beach.

History

From the beginning of the 17th century, Spanish and French explorers, imagining riches in the New World, began colonizing the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. A Spanish expedition from Vera Cruz, Mexico had settled on what became known as Santa Rosa Island on Panzacola Bay, named after the indigenous people, later known as the Pensacola Indians. Panzacola means "the village of hairy people." The French developed a settlement along the coast near Maubila (Mobile). They were competing in this area. Explorers from both countries had heard of a great mysterious body of water to the west of Pensacola, but they were unable to find the entrance.

PLAYLIST TIME:

Carousel

by: Bratt Pack

You Ready
We're gonna take you on a ride
For 2 triple O
Hang on here we go
We're gonna send you on a carousel
Smoothin' like a bad boy,
I'm not a hussler
But I'll play it if you call me that
Soft like the lotion
That I rub right on your back
(That I rub right on your back)
I feel I should sing
My eyes can't complain
When the set becomes clear of you
Just like a ride, hope on and try
Let me take you
Take you on all around like a carousel
Never gonna run away, make you go down
I'll hold you tight, I'll be with you tonight
I'll never let you fall unless I fall in love with you
So now you took a ride, come on get in line
Go around for the second time
I'm the one for you, let me show you what I'll do
I'm gonna make your heart one two
I used to sit and worry all day
Work my job and get my pay
When my mind was goin a stray
Hopin' i could get to go play
I see ya girls lookin so fine
With the hopes of makin her mind
Baby girl just give me a sign
Tell me I'm a waste of my time
Because I wanna kick it with you,
All the things a lover could do
Ain't no lie with tellin the true
If your old i'll make you feel new
Cause girl you got me under your self
It ain't hard it's easy to tell
Like my rhyme will do you quite well
