Rob Cavallo - Alligator Pie lyrics

[Verse 1] Floating in the lower nine Waiting for a boat to throw me a line See my Stella smile Sitting on a roof eating alligator pie First day the water rise Second day the sun is high Third day Stella cries Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes [Chorus] Lord Tell me when help is gonna come Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" [Verse 2] Storm went right on by Thanked the Lord everybody's alright Don't mean to throw off a second line But the devil broke the levee and left us here to die [Chorus] Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" [Breaks] Need a dance hall to get y'all down Need a dance hall to get y'all down [Bridge] All the things we know and Everything we hope for All the things we wanted Everything that was sure Now there is a scar where The old men used to be The corner store and market Where Stella used to sing to me Grace is all I'm asking When will grace return? Grace is all I'm asking [Verse 3] Remember how it feels Lazy days in the summertime Then my Stella smiled Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" [Chorus] Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" She said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" She said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Tell me, Lord, when help is gonna come [Outro] She said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
