Wallace Lyrics - Southern Rock Opera - Drive By Truckers

Throw another log on the fire, boys, George Wallace is coming to stay 

When he met St. Peter at the pearly gates, I'd like to think that a black man stood in the way. 

I know "All should be forgiven", but he did what he done so well 

So throw another log on the fire boys, 

George Wallace is a coming? 

Now, he said he was the best friend a black man from Alabama ever had, 

And I have to admit, compared to Fob James, George Wallace don't seem that bad 

And if it's true that he wasn't a racist and he just did all them things for the votes 

I guess Hell's just the place for "kiss ass politicians" who pander to assholes. 

So throw another log on the fire, boys, George Wallace is coming to stay 

I know, in the end, he got the black people's votes, but I bet they'd still vote him this way. 

And Hell's just a little bit hotter 'cause He played his hand so well 

He had what it took to take it so far 

Now the Devil's got a Wallace sticker on the back of his car
