The Boys From Alabama

We're gonna take you up to McNairy County, Tennessee

Back in the days when Sheriff Buford Pusser ran things around there

Sheriff Buford Pusser was tryin' to clean up McNairy County, Tennessee

From all them bootleggers that was bringin' crime and corruption

And illegal liquor into his little dry county

And for his troubles he got ambushed and his wife was murdered

And his house got blown up, and they made a movie about it called Walking Tall

This is the other side of that story

Well, they caught you smoking grass and the judge threw the book

And I saw a little opportunism in your look

You can take it from me, boy, take it from a crook

We have friends on the inside and friends on the outside

They'll sneak up beside you, so keep on the good side

I can see you standing there, staring down at your shoes

Thinking 'bout your mom and dad and wondering what to do

Well, you best look inside yourself, boy

We're all watching you

We have friends in jail who can see you through

Boy, don't forget, no matter what you do

Don't piss off the boys from Alabama

You know we won't let it slide

They might find your body in the Tennessee River

Or they might not find it at all

And there'll be no place to run and hide

And your family ain't safe at all

So don't piss off the boys from Alabama

We're keepin' an eye on you

We're keepin' an eye on you

Don't piss off the boys from Alabama

You better take it like a man

Ain't nobody gonna stick anything up your ass

If you remember who your friends are

We got good help down in Franklin County

They'll hunt you like a dog

You can take your fall or lose it all

The choice is up to you

I wouldn't piss off the boys from Alabama if I was you

If I was you
