D                                D/F 
Well, they caught you smoking grass and the judge threw the book 
      G                   Bb 
And I saw a little opportunism in your look 
        D                     D/F            G       Bb 
You can take it from me, boy, take it from a crook 
          D                         D/F   
Well your friends on the inside and friends on the outside 
        G                      Bb  
They'll sneak up beside you so keep on their good side 
 
      D                               D/F 
I can see you standing there, staring down at your shoes 
G                                   Bb 
Thinking about your Mom and Dad and wondering what to do 
         D                    D/F                  G             Bb  
Well you best look inside yourself, boy, we're all watching you 
        D                        D/F 
We got friends in jail, they can see you through 
G                     Bb 
Boy, don't forget, no matter what you do 
 
Chorus 1: 
F                   
Don't poos off the Boys from Alabama 
    Bb 
You know they won't let it slide 
     F 
They might find your body in the Tennessee River 
        Bb 
or they might not find you at all 
         F 
There'll be no place to run and hide 
         Bb 
and your family ain't safe at all 
F    
Don't poos off the Boys from Alabama 
      Bb                     D  D/F  G 
We're keeping an eye on you 
Bb 
We’re keeping an eye on you 
 
Chorus 2: 
Don't poos 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
