Waylon Jennings - The Everglades lyrics

[Verse 1] He was born and raised around Jacksonville A nice young man about the kind to k** But the jealous fight and the flashing blades Sent him on the run through the everglades Running like the dog through the everglades [Chorus] Where a man can hide and never be found And never have fear of the baying hounds Better keep moving don't stand still If the skeeters don't get him than the 'gators will If the skeeters don't get him than the 'gators will [Instrumental] [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Instrumental] [Verse 3] 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 running through the everglades Runnin' like the dog through the everglades [Chorus]
