Molly Hatchet - Gator Country Lyrics






I've been to Alabama, people ain't a whole lot to see;
Skynyrd says it's a real sweet home but it ain't nothing to me.
Charlie Daniels will tell you the good Lord lives in Tennessee, ha!
But I'm going back to gator country where the wine and the women are free.

There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name,
And a saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's many roads I've traveled but they all kind of look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he calling my name.

Old Richard Betts will tell ya Lord he was born a Ramblin' Man.
Well he can ramble back to Georgia but I won't give a damn.
Elvin Bishop out struttin' his stuff with little Miss Slick Titty Boom.
But I'm going back to gator country to get me some elbow room.

There's a gator in the bushes he's calling my name.
and saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's many roads I've traveled but they all kinda look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he calling my name. Yep.

There's Marshall Tucker riding a rainbow searching for a pot of gold.
Well they can take the highway, baby, and they can take all they can hold.
The Outlaws down in Tampa town it's a mighty fine place to be.
They got green grass and they got high tides and sure looks good to me.

There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name.
Saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's so many roads I've traveled but they all kinda look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he's calling my name.

Oh gator country,
a little bit of that chomp chomp

    I'm 54.  Born, raised, and lived my entire life in the deep south.  This is the music we grew up on.  Rock-n-roll you can dance to, and understand the lyrics.  I don't live in the past.  But when I hear a song like this, I'm 18 years old cruising my hometown with the gal of the month riding shotgun, the windows down, the equalizer booster set just right, and the 6 x 9s blowing.

  25. D.... C....

    Was raised in fort Lauderdale Everglades you already know what this song does to me

    Don't have to be a true southerner I'm from Ohio and my parents played this shit and it rips... I miss guitars.

  33. D.... C....

    I was raised in fortlauderdale Florida, saw grass air boats and yes the wine and wemon are free why do you here that those southern boy's know how to treat a woman.....

    Gator Country is the best idiot repellent I know. Idiots act all funny and superior like. Solution? Give the the front door a swift kick with your boot really slamming it hard into the back of their cabooses. What's left are your friends. Hoist a few cold ones and sit a spell.

    He is a country music fan.New country ain't this but I tried to stear him to something not Bieber. It took.

    J.... ....

    Something any good father would do for his children!

  59. k.... b....

  60. T.... S....

    The 1973 "Death Dealer" Frank Frazetta's artwork is 100 times better than this music.

  61. M.... A....

  62. c.... s....

  79. C.... ....

    Ironically Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers are both from Florida.

    C.... ....

    CapAnson12345 Gregg and Duane were from Tennessee and both died in Georgia

    C.... ....

    @Adam Mathews Indeed, but their early musical careers were spent in Daytona Beach.

    C.... ....

    CapAnson12345 Yes they did 👍🏻

  80. J.... S....

    Be your own beat friend.Nobody feels your pain.And that bro /buddy shit is way overrated .No matter how many second fiddle dynamic duo showz are on T.V.

  83. M.... C....

    Molly Hatchet is my favorite southern band. Hands down. This tune just gets me goin! T.

  84. J.... S....

    This album cover says"Jeff,you got a pencil and a speed square?" I CAME To WOrk didn't I! where's yours ski king?I know my tool bucket has LOWES on it,but youre supposed to have gear and Id appreciate it if youd keep your weenie beaters out of my shit.Tao or toad or whatever your name is.

  85. T.... R....

  86. M.... K....

    I saw Molly Hatchet 21 TIMES................meet them 12.......got drunk with them 2!!!!! Nicest ppl you will ever meet!!!!

  87. D.... ....

    i've always thought the writer was kind of a baby...this is an obvious response to CDB's "The South's Gonna Do It Again" (which didn't include Molly Hatchet). If there wasn't CDB or Allman Bros, there would be no Molly Hatchet.

  88. b.... ....

    grew up in Georgia....but I've been down here in the bushes down here for 34 years......yeah man a'int no other place like it!

  89. l.... c....

    Southern Rock at its very finest. Man this is as good as it gets. Bless God!

  90. R.... N....

    I always have thought that Molly Hatchet was every bit as good as Lynyrd Skynyrd.

  91. S.... B....

    Molly&Blackfoot puts Skynrd under the table!

  92. J.... M....

    it's been a minute.
