Waylon Jennings Lyrics for Song: Everglades
 Lyrics for Album: Destiny's Child [Bear Family] [1999]
 
 
 
 10649>(Harlan Howard)
 
 
 
 He was born and raised around Jacksonville
 
 A nice young man 'bout the kind to kill
 
 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.
 
 
 
 --- Instrumental ---
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 --- Instrumental ---
 
 
 
 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...
