Waylon Jennings - The Everglades Lyrics

Align:    
  • (Harlan Howard)
  • He was born and raised around Jacksonville
  • A nice young man 'bout the kind to kill
  • But the jealous fight and the flashing blades
  • Sent him on the run through the everglades.
  • Running like the dog through the everglades.
  • Where a man can hide and never be found
  • And never have fear of the baying hounds
  • Better keep movin' don't stand still
  • If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville.
  • If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville.
  • --- Instrumental ---
  • Well, the posse went in and they came back out
  • And said he'll die and there ain't no doubt
  • It's an eye for an eye the debt is paid
  • It won't last long in the everglades
  • A man can't live in the everglades.
  • But a man can hide and never be found
  • And never have fear of the baying hounds
  • Better keep movin' don't stand still
  • If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville.
  • If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville.
  • --- Instrumental ---
  • Now the years went by and his girl was wed
  • His family gave up they thought he was dead
  • Now and then the people would say
  • They had seen him runnin' through the everglades
  • Runnin' like the dog through the everglades.
  • Where a man can hide and never be found
  • And never have fear of the baying hounds
  • Better keep movin' don't stand still
  • If the skeeters don't get him in Gatersville.
  • If the skeeters don't get him in the Gatersville...
