Drive-By Truckers - The Boys From Alabama lyrics

rate me

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

I can see a little opportunism in your look

You can take it from me, boy

You can 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 will see you through

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

Don't piss off the Boys from Alabama

You know they won't let it slide

They might find your body in the Tennessee River

or they might not find you at all

There'll be no place to run and hide

and your family ain't safe at all

Don't piss off the Boys from Alabama

We're keeping an eye on you

Keeping an eye on you

Don't piss off the Boys from Alabama

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
