We're going to take you up to [F] McNary County, Tennessee.
[G]
Back in the days when [Bb] Sheriff Huford Pusser ran [Dm] things around there.
[F] Sheriff Huford Pusser was trying [G] to clean up McNary County, [Bb] Tennessee from all them
bootleggers [D] who was bringing [Dm] crime and corruption [F] and illegal liquor into his [G] little dry county.
[Bb] Before his troubles he got [Dm]
ambushed and [F] his wife was murdered and his house got blown
[G] up and he made a movie about it [Bb] called Walking Tall.
[Dm]
This is the other side [F] of that story.
[G]
[Bb] [Gm] Well [Dm] they caught you smoking grass and [F] the judge threw the book and [G] I saw a little [Bb] opportunism
in your look.
[Dm] You can take it from me [F] boy, take it from [G] my cup.
[Bb] [D] We got friends on the inside [F] and friends on the outside.
[G] We'll sneak up the side just [Bb] to keep on the good [D] side.
[Dm] [F] [G]
[Bb] I can [Dm] see you standing there [F] staring down at your shoes.
[G]
Thinking about your mom and [Bb] dad and wondering what to do.
[D] Well you best look inside [F] yourself boy, we [G] are watching you.
[Bb] [Dm] We got friends in jail [F] that can see you through.
[G]
Boy don't forget [Bb] no matter what you do.
[F] Don't care if some boy's from Alabama, [G]
you know we [Dm] won't let it slide.
[Bb] But [F] I might find somebody in the Tennessee River that might not find it [Bb] at all.
[F] There'll be no place to run and hide and your family ain't safe [Bb] at all.
[F] So don't piss off the boys from Alabama.
[Gm] We're keeping an eye [F] on you.

Don't piss off the boys from Alabama.
[Gm] They'll take you like [F] a man.
Ain't nobody gonna stick anything up your ass if you remember who your friends are.
Got good help down at Franklin's house.
They'll hunt you like a dog.
You can take their fall or lose it all.
[G] The choice is [F] up to you.
[Dm] I wouldn't piss off [F] the boys from [G] Alabama if [Bb] I was you.
[Dm] [F]
