about
This song was written in Houston Texas at Cherryhurst House where I was staying during the recording of I Got Your Medicine. A cold January night sitting and smoking a joint in Mike Smith's car he told a story about a jilted lover's ex returning to their home bar with her new man. The jilted one asks her WTF she's doing in here with him. And questions if her alligator purse is real. I think it is a swamp pop groove with some early Animals vibes
lyrics
Just when you think you can touch the sky
spread your wings and fly baby fly
along comes someone that makes you crawl
seems just when things are getting better
thunder over yonder changes the weather]
there's no predicting the rain or the tears and the shame
baby what you doing here with that smooth operator
i've never seen those shoes before are they real alligator
silly woman what is your point
come sit in my truck and talk to me while i roll a joint
this is my hang you shouldn't have brought him in here
it's cold tonight my windows are cracked
i'm just surprised you don't know how to act
but i aint actin baby i still want you
baby what you doing here with that smooth operator
i've never seen that purse before is it real alligator
