Album cut of The Boys From Alabama by Drive By Truckers - from the album The Dirty South

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

You can 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 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 they 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

Keeping an eye on you

Don't piss off the Boys from Alabama

Ya 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

@Grendel53. I couldn't agree with you more. I heard an Brit once say that the Southern United States were the last original place in the nation. Faulkner was right about history never dying in the South or it even being history to southerners. I've heard even if when a southerner moves away that something about the place haunts their memory.

man i cant stop listening to this album, the most southern shit you can find anywhere, good deep lyrics with attitude, you can feel the skeeters, smell the gasoline, taste the sweat, and see the heat waves pouring off the asphalt, I think all southerners can appreciate DBT

Reminds me of back home in Appalachia when they cracked the shiners for bailing out the coal miners from under the company store.. The law moved on the shiners, and the rest of the county moved on THEM...

Southern Gothic, baby. Nobody does it like us. Like a band frm Iowa or vermont could write shit like this. "We got friends on the inside and friends on the outside They'll sneak up beside you so keep on their good side" C'mon man, that's Faulkner and Harry Crews and James Lee Burke

I think human institutions are the ultimate force of nature. Don't forget humans are the ones that define nature.

Yeah the state line mob existed, even a book about it. Id say Franklin County Al. is a bad place, Got stopped by the Sheriff U.R. Jarnigan. He wore overalls 1969, Before the solider of fortune camp training. Not all those boys went to war.

If this song doesn't give you chills and or goosebumps - check in with your local doctor. You may in fact (1) be dead already, or (2) have no soul.
