Well I've been to Alabama, people, ain't a whole lot to see;
GFC
Skynard says it's a real sweet home, but it ain't nothing to me
GFC
Charlie Daniels will tell you the good Lord lives in Tennessee, ha!
GFC
But I'm going back to the Gator Country, where the wine and women are free
[Chorus]
DCG
There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name
DC
And a saying come on, boy, you better make it back home again
DCG
There's many roads I've traveled but they all kinda look the same
DCF
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he's calling my name
[Verse 2]
GFC
Old Richard Betts will tell ya Lord, he was born a Ramblin' Man,
GFC
Well, he can ramble on back to Georgia and I won't give a damn
GFC
Elvin Bishop out struttin' his stuff with little Miss Slick Titty Boom,
GFC
But I'm going back to the Gator Country to get me some elbow room
[Chorus]
DCG
There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name
DC
And a saying come on, boy, you better make it back home again
DCG
There's many roads I've traveled but they all kinda look the same
DCF
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he's calling my name

[Verse 3]
GFC
There's Marshall Tucker a ridin' a rainbow, searching for a pot of gold
GFC
Well, they can take the highway, baby, and take all they can hold
GFC
The Outlaws down in Tampa town, yes, a mighty fine place to be
GFC
They got green grass and they got high tides and it sure looks good to me
[Chorus]
DCG
There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name
DC
And a saying come on, boy, you better make it back home again
DCG
There's many roads I've traveled but they all kinda look the same
DCF
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he's calling my name
