Rode around, Tennessee 'Til they stole my car Hoping for a chance to meet Alligator girl The electric guitar
I jumped in the river Swam to the bar Hoping to be the liver
Wake from, clever thunder Pull the covers from my face Lift my head off my pillow Check the darkness just incase She wakes
Daughters off at a buss-stop, praying I'm a busted TV-screen Thought I heard it outside of an 'ol church playing Mister pitifull and goodnight Irene
Later on, my hotel Stared up at, stuck on a star How many sweet songs, I wrote for the Alligator girl The electric guitar
Wake from, clever thunder Pull the covers from my face Lift my head off my pillow Check the darkness just in case She wakes She wakes She wakes She wakes
