The Boys from Alabama

Lyrics

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
 I 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 standing there, staring down at your shoes
 Thinking about your Mom and Dad and wondering what to do
 Well, you best look inside yourself, boy, we're all watching 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
 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 keeping an eye on you
 ♪
 We're keeping 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
