Everglades
He was born down 'round Jacksonville
A nice young man not a kind to kill
But a jealous heart and a flashing blade
Sent him on a run to the Everglades
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Where a man can, can hide
And never be found
And have no fear of the bashing hound
But he better keep moving
And not stand still
If the Skitters don't get him
The Gaitors will
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Though the posse came in
And it came back out
He's deep in the Glades
And there's ain't no doubt
It's an eye for an eye
So he's getting paid
He won't last long in the Everglades
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Well, he never heard the news on the radio
He's deep in the Glades
So he'll never know
He's running and his hiding
Didn't make much sense
The jury had ruled it was self defense
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Where a man can, can hide
And never be found
And have no fear of the bashing hound
But he better keep moving
And not stand still
If the Skitters don't get him
The Gaitors will
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Skipping like a frog through slimy dog
Running from the trees of the Everleaves
Running like a dog through the Everglades.
A nice young man not a kind to kill
But a jealous heart and a flashing blade
Sent him on a run to the Everglades
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Where a man can, can hide
And never be found
And have no fear of the bashing hound
But he better keep moving
And not stand still
If the Skitters don't get him
The Gaitors will
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Though the posse came in
And it came back out
He's deep in the Glades
And there's ain't no doubt
It's an eye for an eye
So he's getting paid
He won't last long in the Everglades
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Well, he never heard the news on the radio
He's deep in the Glades
So he'll never know
He's running and his hiding
Didn't make much sense
The jury had ruled it was self defense
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Where a man can, can hide
And never be found
And have no fear of the bashing hound
But he better keep moving
And not stand still
If the Skitters don't get him
The Gaitors will
Running like a dog through the Everglades
Skipping like a frog through slimy dog
Running from the trees of the Everleaves
Running like a dog through the Everglades.
