lyrics

I turned off the mainstream news
Liars lie and rarely tell the truth
Deceit the poison that they use
Gonna buy me a pair of alligator shoes

When life hits hard, we all bruise
Careful with the friends you choose
When sailing on a ship of fools
Be sure to bring your alligator shoes

Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
I'm weary from these tombstone blues
Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
Dress me up in a pinstripe suit
And bury me in my alligator shoes

Beware the triple six tattoo, the man
Who strikes the match & lights the fuse
If you see him in his graveyard boots
Ya better put on your alligator shoes

Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
I'm weary from these tombstone blues
Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
Dress me up in a pinstripe suit
And bury me in my alligator shoes

Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
I'm weary from these tombstone blues
Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
Dress me up in a pinstripe suit
And bury me in my alligator shoes

Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
I'm weary from these tombstone blues
Alligator shoes, alligator shoes
Dress me up in a pinstripe suit
And bury me in my alligator shoes
Dress me up in a pinstripe suit
And bury me in my alligator shoes
