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 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 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
