ALLIGATOR
BY RUSTY NEWCOMER AND SCOTT ROBEY
I PRACTICE NIGHT AND DAY
WEAR MY FINGERS TO THE BONE
PAYING THOSE GROULING DUES
STILL WAITING BY THE PHONE
MISSIN' OUT ON SOCIAL LIFE
ALL LOCKED UP IN MY ROOM
DREAMIN' OF THOSE HOT LIGHTS
AND SHOWS THAT END TOO SOON
BUT I'M GONNA MAKE IT SOONER OR LATER
I'M GONNA RECORD ON OLE ALLIGATOR AH HUH
I'M NOBODY NOW
I WILL BE SOMEDAY
AND YOU'LL DRIVE FOR MILES
JUST TO HEAR ME PLAY
BETTER WATCH YOUR WOMAN
CAUSE SHE'LL WANT ME TOO
AND IF I EVER GET HER
SHE'LL BE THROWING ROCKS AT YOU
AND I'M GONNA MAKE IT SOONER OR LATER
I'M GONNA RECORD ON OLE ALLIGATOR AH HUH
THE OLD HOUND DOG AND KO-KO TAYLOR
KNEW THEY WOULD MAKE IT SOONER OR LATER
NONBELIEVERS SHUNNED ELVIN THE BISHOP
BUT THE CLERGY OF BLUES JUST NEVER GAVE UP
ON HIS WAY TO BLUES KINGDOM HE CROSSED GATOR MOAT
WHERE MANY HAVE SUNK BUT HE STAYED AFLOAT
YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE WHAT I'M TRYIN' TO SAY
WELL I DON'T GIVE SHIT CAUSE I'M ON MY WAY
(CHORUS)
