ok, one more. I wrote this song about something that happened to me many years ago when I was at an alligator park in Houston, Texas. I got chased by an alligator that I hissed at. Yep, not smart. But makes for a great song I think! Let me know :)
Lyrics:
Sun was hot I lost my cool
Saw an alligator breakin' the rules
He hissed at me, so I hissed right back
never thought he'd launch a full on attack
In his eyes I saw pure rage
Like a beast freed from its cage
He lunged forward teeth sharp like knives
In that moment...
I feared for my life!!!
I ran so fast my heart went wild
Alligator chased me like a wicked child
Climbed a tree to get away
Caught my breath and cursed the day
He circled 'round the trunk below
and smiled at me a deadly teeth show
Eyes locked I felt the heat
Sweat drippin' trying to not slip by my feet
His hiss was a growl a thunderous roar
His promise of danger I couldn't ignore
Tree held steady under me
A refuge from this hissing spree
I ran so fast my heart went wild
Alligator chased me like a wicked child
Climbed a tree to get away
Caught my breath and cursed the day
Ok, so lessoned learned, in my brain it was burned...
when an alligator hisses, never hiss right back..
a life lesson that now I don't lack.
so what's the moral of the story? There's no moral, and
there was no glory. Just an idiot saved by a tree, barely
making it in a 100 yard flee!
I ran so fast my heart went wild
Alligator chased me like a wicked child
Climbed a tree to get away
Caught my breath and cursed the daymore
