D                                D/F
Well, they caught you smoking grass and the judge threw the book
      G                   A#
And I saw a little opportunism in your look
        D                     D/F            G       A#
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                      A# 
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                                   A#
Thinking about your Mom and Dad and wondering what to do
         D                    D/F                  G             A# 
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                     A#
Boy, don't forget, no matter what you do
Chorus 1:
F                  
Don't poos off the Boys from Alabama
    A#
You know they won't let it slide
     F
They might find your body in the Tennessee River
        A#
or they might not find you at all
         F
There'll be no place to run and hide
         A#
and your family ain't safe at all
F   
Don't poos off the Boys from Alabama
      A#                     D  D/F  G
We're keeping an eye on you
A#
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
