The Boys From Alabama
Lyricist:Mike Cooley, Patterson Hood, Jason Isbell, Brad Morgan, Shonna Tucker
We gonna take you up to McMary county Tennessee Back in the days when Sheriff Buford Busted around things around there Sheriff Buford Pusser Was tryin to clean up McMary county Tennessee From all them boot leggers that was bringin' crime and corruption And illegal liquor into this 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 smokin' 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 got friends on the inside And friends on the outside They'll sneak up beside you So keep on their good side
I can see you standin' there Starin' down at your shoes Thinkin' 'bout your mom and dad And wonderin' what to do Well you best look inside yourself, boy Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We're all watchin' you We got 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 Well, 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 Were'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 anythin' 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
