Theme Song

Title: "The Everglades"

By: "Harlan Howard"

In the Everglades there's a way of life
It's a way of peace without stress or strife.
There's a fellow there who protects these rights
Lincoln Vale of the Everglades.
The man on patrol in the Everglades.

But they'll fight for rights and the homes they made
Simple grass roots people of the Everglades.
There's a natural danger and the man to face
Lincoln Vale of the Everglades.
The man on patrol in the Everglades.

Movin', ever movin' through the Everglades.
Movin', ever movin' through the Everglades.
Movin', ever movin'
Movin', ever movin' through the Everglades.
