Waylon Jennings - Everglades lyrics

He was born and raised around Jacksonville A nice young man 'bout 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. 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. 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. 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...
