Let me get eaten by some alligator monster
I'll pretend I'm a little bullfrog
I don't care about no alligator monster
Four times better than your sister's bulldog
I said hey why don't you send a letter to your baby on her birthday
Hey, why don't you send a letter to your baby on her birthday
I'll go walking in your swamps at night time
Much better than your local highway
I don't mind your swamps at nighttime
I just wonder what your sister might say
She says leave your shoes at the door your hat on porch come my way
Leave your shoes at the door your hat on the porch come my way
Light a match, call me in the morning
I'll be up until about a half past two
Light a match and call me in the morning
Let me know what your sister done do
She done gone left for Illinois went through Indiana on Flag Day
She done gone left for Illinois went through Indiana on her birthday
Fourteen days on the Mississippi River
And I'm all surrounded by corn
Two weeks on your Mississippi river
Really a shame when your heart is torn
I say hey why don't you send a letter to your baby on her birthday
Hey why don't you send a letter to your baby on her birthday

I'm so cold...
I'm more cold than you
Things aren't gonna last
Things aren't gonna last...
All is vanity
All is vanity...
I'm so scared...
I'm more scared then you
Things aren't gonna last
Things aren't gonna last...
Well I love my family
I love my family...
I love my family...

Traffic To The Sea

Sweet
Life is so sweet, so sad
The ones you love the most go by so fast
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
Please don't let me down....
Down....
All the water we took from that sea
The sea claims into obscurity
And we don't know a thing
Yeah we'll pretend we know everything
I don't know a thing
I'll pretend I know everything
I know I wont let you down...
Down...
Sweet
Life is so sweet, so sad
The ones you love the most, go by so fast
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
Traffic to the sea, to the sea where you bumped into me
I know you won't let me down...
Down..

lyrics by Matt Helm
I wanna say I was wrong
But the right words are hard to find
I have no trouble putting my foot in my mouth but
I cant swallow my pride
And I tell you I love you
I only say it in words
I can never give you all that you desire
Thats the least you deserve
I'm asking for forgiveness
what more should I expect
I've broken your hearts so many times
its only fair mine is next
Your free to treat me
However it is you choose
Excuse me or abuse me but please don't confuse me
Your all I have to lose
Now the pain goes deeply as deeply as you breathe
And with every breath there's a hope that the next will be a sigh of relief
And with every breath there's a hope that the next will be a sigh of relief
