Lyrics

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
