Description
For those unfamiliar with South Florida, "Alligator Alley" was a legendary two-lane stretch of highway running smack dab in the middle of nowhere, through The Everglades. Not a good place to have your car break down, with no one around for miles!
Lyrics
I’m stuck out here on Alligator Alley Car broke down miles from home I left L. A. moving to Miami Never been this all alone I’m in the Twilight Zone It’s tough out here on Alligator Alley The Everglades are hot as Hell In deep man this ain’t The Valley Yeah this time I’m S.O.L. Without a soul to tell It’s one last stretch I need a ride I’ve got to get to the other side On a lonesome highway no one drives Have to use my shoes I got the broke down blues Sure rough out here on Alligator Alley It’s known to be a killer road Any old mechanic would be handy ‘Bout 50 miles or so to go Sun’s setting low It’s one last stretch I need a ride I’ve got to get to the other side On a lonesome highway no one drives Have to use my shoes I got the broke down blues (Harmonica Solo) It’s one last stretch I need a ride I’ve got to get to the other side On a lonesome highway no one drives Have to use my shoes I got the broke down blues Guess I’d better start walking There are sure a lot of alligators out here today © 2010 by Brian Brazil, Trudee Lunden, Edward Tree & Howard “Preacher” Ward All Rights Reserved
