Fireflies & Gator Eyes

Verse 1

Fire flys flicker in the humid air

Gator eyes shining, watching me stare

Mud on my boots, sweat on my brow

Night settles in, can't turn back now

Chorus

I'm sittin' in the swamp, watchin' fireflies dance

Gators driftin' slow, don't give me a glance

Wind whippin' stories through the cypress knees

Just me and the moon, and the old swamp breeze

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, down by the water's side

Oh, oh, got nowhere to hide

Verse 2

Boots in the mud, got nowhere to go

Torchlight flickers where the Spanish moss grows

Night birds callin', lonesome and free

River rolls on, won't take me from me

Pre-Chorus

Can't see the road, but I know I'm home

Folks in the town, but I drift alone

Chorus

I'm sittin' in the swamp, watchin' fireflies dance

Gators driftin' slow, don't give me a glance

Wind whippin' stories through the cypress knees

Just me and the moon, and the old swamp breeze

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, down by the water's side

Oh, oh, got nowhere to hide

Post-Chorus

Ohhh, ohhhh, look at them gator eyes

Ohhh, ohhhh, under southern skies

Bridge

Ripples on the bank, still as the air

Gator eyes gleamin', got that cold-blooded stare

Spanish moss drippin', heart skips a beat

Trouble in the hush where the river and shadows meet

Outro

Fire flys waltzin', night never lies

Ohhh, ohhhh, look at them gator eyes

Outro

Fire flys waltzin', night never lies

Ohhh, ohhhh, look at them gator eyes

Outro (Extended)

Fire flys are dancing in the breeze

Moon shining down on them gator eyes

Stillness settles where the cool night sighs

Story keeps rolling under southern skies

Outro (Extended)

Fire flys are dancing in the breeze

Moon shining down on them gator eyes

Stillness settles where the cool night sighs

Story keeps rolling under southern skies

Oh, looking at them gator eyes

Oh, the secrets that they hide
