Lyrics
Verse 1
Got a green old truck
Paint peeled off
Got a green pet too
Named him Gator Jock
Folks cross the road when they see those teeth
But he naps in the sun
Just chewin’ on leaves
Chorus
My gator don’t bite
He just hums at night (mmmm)
Sings low
Sings bright
Like he found the light
You can scream and run
I just laugh on the porch
My gator don’t bite
He just blesses this yard
Of course (hey!)
Verse 2
Preacher came by with a cup of fear
Said
“Son
That beast ain’t welcome here”
Gator rolled his eyes
Let his tail just sway
Preacher dropped his Bible
And he backed away
Chorus
My gator don’t bite
He just hums at night (oh, sing)
Sings low
Sings bright
Like he found the light
You can clutch that cross
You can light that torch
My gator don’t bite
He just guards my crooked porch
Bridge
[stomp-clap groove builds
Distant flute answers the vocal]
Round this fire
We all sound strange
Old drum heart with a broken chain
I shout
You shout
Neighbors take flight
(woah) but we just dance with the moon tonight
Chorus
My gator don’t bite
He just hums at night
Sings low
Sings bright
Sets my wrongs upright
You can call him curse
You can call him sign
My gator don’t bite
He just keeps my soul in line
