Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got my pistols in my pocket, boys, I'm
I'm Alabama bound
I've got my pistols in my pocket, boys, I'm
I'm Alabama bound
Well, I'm not looking for no trouble
But nobody dogs me 'round
[Verse 2]
Now, well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities, here I come
Oh well, I'm going to fetch my woman, people
Tri-cities, here I come
'Cause she was raised up on that cornbread
And I know that woman'll give me some
Give me some, baby
[Verse 3]
Oh, when the kid hits Alabama, people
Don't you try and dog him 'round
Now, when the kid hits Alabama, people
Don't you try and dog him 'round
'Cause if you people cause me trouble
Lord, I've got to put you in the ground
[Verse 4]
Well, I was born in Mississippi, babe
I don't take any stuff from you
Oh, I was born in Mississippi
And I don't take any stuff from you
And if I hit you on your head
Boy, it's got to make you black and blue
[Verse 5]
Well, I'm goin' to Alabama
Got my pistols out by my side
Mm, yes, I'm ridin' to Alabama
With my pistols out by my side
'Cause down in Alabama
You can run but you sure can't hide
