	Lyrics {Okeechobee Overture} Okeechobee's water ran down into the Everglades Can't you see she's dying? She's crying? Oh Everglades Sweet and sour, sweet and sour, sweet and sour Everglades (The Alligators' Alley) There's a lonely road in Florida That runs from East to West Alligator Alley Is how it’s known the best As I headed out of ‘Lauderdale Seas of sawgrass filled my eyes Hanging Spanish Moss and Cabbage Palms Silhouetted in the skies And if you look beyond the tarmac Past the signs and “Bingo Hall” You can see the way life used to be When the Seminole stood tall When the Panther and the Mockingbird Roamed the ground and filled the air Back before we cut they’re world in half To get from here to there Oh...Oh ..Oh ....Florida Oh...Oh ..Oh ....Florida And it kinda makes you wonder As you fade from cell phone range Did we turn the tide in this paradise ? Could it be that we’re to blame? Did we trade off with the tourists ? A “Sweet ‘n Sour” compromise ? As we look toward our future here Could it be we’ve closed our eyes ? And if you listen very closely There’s a sound that’s everywhere It’s a silence that we’re used to And it shows that we don’t care It’s the ringing of the toll booths Over Mother Nature’s cry Can you hear the sound of Florida Kiss the Everglades goodbye? Oh...Oh ..Oh ....Florida Oh...Oh ..Oh ....Florida There's a lonely road in Florida Eighty miles from East to West But it’s the Alligators’ Alley You and I are just a guest Oh it’s the Alligators’ Alley You and I .........we’re just a guest
