Ron DeSantis of Florida is now music’s greatest governor.
The Van Zant brothers, the legendaries, wrote a song in honor of Florida governor Rick Scott. This tribute song highlights the governor’s efforts to protect Florida from Democrats who, from Joe Biden through liberal governors all across America, continue to exert draconian control over the free-loving citizens of this country.
The Van Zants were bred and raised in Jacksonville Florida.
Johnny Van Zant, lead singer of the iconic southern rock band Lynryd Skynyrd, and brother Donnie Van Zant, best known as lead singer of 38 Special, debuted “Sweet Florida” — a nod to the Skynyrd classic “Sweet Home Alabama” —on “Fox & Friends,” where the Van Zants and DeSantis were interviewed before the song’s premiere.
“He’s fighting for the right to keep our state free/Well, he’s taking on the swamp and he’s calling out Dr. Fauci—Fauci/He’s the only one fighting for you and me!” Johnny Van Zant sings.
“So cool,” co-host Ainsley Earhardt exclaimed. https://t.co/sQizfwKMVK— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) April 1, 2022
“We got to thank Governor DeSantis for standing and believing for what he believes… he’s been a great governor for us,” Johnny told “Fox & Friends,” explaining that the governor called and told him he was running for re-election, and wanted Johnny to write his campaign song. He continued:
We really wrote it in a couple of hours, and we recorded it … on an iPhone and sent it to the governor. “We’ve never done that before…and we took a chance.
Before we continue, as a yuuge, old-school Lynyrd Skynrd fan, I’m a purist. Ronnie Van Zant died in 1977. Ronnie Van Zant’s brother Johnny Van Zant became the singer. In 2009, Billy Powell, the keyboardist, died.
DeSantis and Johnny Van Zant listen to the official music video. Audio versions are available via major streaming music services.
Johnny Van Zant sings
Well, we ain’t been locked down, we still have our freedom. It’s still possible to see friends and family. Our children go to school, so we can also attend church every Sunday. And it’s all because DeSantis knows how to lead.
The Van Zants also took a shot at “Brandon” in the lyrics:
The press don’t like it but it sure does get my business
He is a strong advocate for the things he believes
So don’t come down here trying to change things
We’re doing all right in the Sunshine State
Keep out of the governor’s business
Florida, down in sweetness
Red, white, and blue are the colors of our governor
Florida, down in sweetness
He’s shooting us straight, tellin’ us the truth
Yeah, that’s right
It’s possible to take it to your bank
He don’t care what Brandon thinks in the White House
He’s fighting for the right to keep our state free
Well, he’s taking on the swamp and calling out Dr. Fauci
He’s the only one who fights for you and me
Yeah, we’re free
Florida, down in sweetness
Our governor, he’s red, white and blue
Florida, down in sweetness
He’s shootin’ us straight and tellin’ us the truth
Well, we ain’t been locked down
Freedom is ours still
Our friends and families can be seen.
We can attend church every Sunday because our children are still in school.
And it’s all because DeSantis knows how to lead
Florida, down in sweetness
Our governor, he’s red, white and blue
Florida, down in sweetness
He’s shootin’ us straight and tellin’ us the truth
Florida, down in Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Florida
Our governor, he’s red, white and blue
Florida, down in sweetness
He’s shootin’ us straight and tellin’ us the truth
He’s a military man with the courage to withstand it all
Yeah, we’re free down in Florida
Our governor, he’s red, white and blue
As I was writing the piece, I couldn’t help but smile to myself. “Just one more thing about DeSantis for the left to lose its crap over” — although nothing like the crap the Democrat Party is going to lose all over the country when November rolls around.
