Alligator Girl

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 delivered

(musical break)

Wake from, clap of thunder
Pull the covers from my face
Lift my head off my pillow
Check the darkness just incase
She waits

Thought I saw [her] at a bus-stop, praying
On a busted TV-screen
Thought I heard [her] inside an 'ol church playing
Mister pitiful
Goodnight Irene

(solo)

Later on in my hotel
Staring up at stucco stars
Humming a sweet song, I wrote for the
Alligator girl
The electric guitar

Wake from, clap of thunder
Pull the covers from my face
Lift my head off my pillow
Check the darkness just in case
She waits
She waits
She waits
She waits
