|
Alligator skins, crocodile hides, good ol' boys, and their |
|
Southern brides |
|
City folk come for the lure of the bounty |
|
But they don't come back 'cause the sheriff of the country is |
|
Buford T. |
|
Jefferson |
|
Davis III |
|
And I'm only here to warn you if you haven't heard about: |
|
Gator hides- a sheriff's pride |
|
Everyglades mirrored shades |
|
He's a good ol' boy but he ain't no good |
|
He'll bust your head on a stump |
|
Just like splittin' wood |
|
Got a story of his own though he ain't askin' for pity |
|
Saw his folks shot dead for twelve dollars in the city |
|
So Buford was orphaned by the city at ten |
|
Got a chip on his shoulder the size of |
|
Gentle Ben [Chorus] |
|
Hunted 10,000 islands, drank 10,000 beers |
|
Wanted 10,000 dollars, got 10,000 years |
|
So I drank myself blind, on a homemade solution |
|
As my body rots away in a penal institution |
|
So if you come for the gators let me give you a clue |
|
The shefiff of the county's got it in for you |
