The Alligator City Blues Lyrics

Layin' in the dark and I wanna wake up
I think about my babies so I cannot give up
Layin' in the dark and I wanna wake up
I think about my family tell'em that I love'em so much
One day I promise we'll be all together
After the rain sun will shine forever

But now I gotta find a place to stay a place to lay
When I'm feelin' down (2 X)
I go to this town, in Alligator City

Chains on my feet and my face behind bars
I think about the fast life, women and diamonds, friends and fancy cars
Chains on my feet and my face behind bars
I wanna take this spaceship just to travel through the stars
Those precious dreams keep on turnin' in my head
And if I didn't have it I would be layin' dead

But now I gotta find a place to stay a place to lay
When I'm feelin' down (2 X)
I go to this town, in Alligator City
