A canopy of country trees
They run their fingers over me
I'm driving north with kin in tow
Accompanied but still alone
Tonight the breeze it sings to me
All slow and hot, melancholy
The empathy in every note
Both poison and the antidote
The wind upon your skin, you skate
Alone across the interstate
The wind upon your skin, you skate
To find it on the interstate
A champion of holy war
Is waiting as I'm speeding towards
The south returning to my home
Intent on leaving there alone
Asleep I barrel down the way
And keep the mood about the day
And Alligator Alley shakes
Two hundred miles and I'm awake
The wind upon your skin, you skate
Alone across the interstate
The wind upon your skin, you skate
To find it on the interstate
A van in stifling evening heat
I'm sweating through upholstery
The skyline of Miami climbs
A Babylon I must abide
(Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley, Alligator
Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley, Alligator

Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley, Alligator
Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley, Alligator
Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley
Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley, Alligator
Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley, Alligator
Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley, Alligator
Alligator Alley, Alligator Alley
The wind upon your skin, you skate
Alone across the interstate
The wind upon your skin, you skate
To find it on the interstate
The wind upon your skin, irate
You're driving like you'll die today
You barrel on towards your fate
To find it on the interstate
To find it on the interstate
To find it on the interstate
To find it on the interstate
To find it on the interstate
