lyrics

Evening in the Everglades
Someone came cut down the trees, killed all the alligators
What're we gonna do if God gets mad?
Johnny Tiger, Billy Wildcat ran into a swamp
Took with them everything they had

Someone died last February. only found his shoes
Ain't no wonder everything is hungry
Oh, the smell of Mother Nature, hanging in my nose
Oh, the smell of noone else has been there

What you gonna do if you ain't got matches?
What you gonna do if you ain't got food?
What you gonna do if you ain't got shelter?
What you gonna do if you can't get sued?
Evenings in the Everglades
Oh how we love
Evenings in the Everglades

Spanish pirates, Spanish moss, hope we find some treasure
Found some comfort from the storm, also found some pleasure
Nights so humid, winds so still, hurricane is coming
Cypress trees house the spirits, seminole are running

Chorus

Someone gives some great tattoo, then she reads your fortune
Cast your waters to the wind
Cast your eyes to Neptune
Snakes that walk and bugs that slide Outside the seminary
Dolphins talk spirit talk, ain't no dictionary

Chorus
