I grew up in North Alabama, back in the 1970's,. When dinosaurs still roamed the earth Speaking. Of course of the Three Great Alabama Icons. George Wallace, Bear Bryant and Ronnie Van Zant.
Grandmother's wheelchair is sitting in the corner. We all sure love her but the little ones avoid her. 'Cause she's gray-haired and wrinkled, and her burden looks heavy.
Ain't about my pistol. Ain't about my boots. Ain't about no northern drives. Ain't about my southern roots. Ain't about my guitars, ain't about my big old amps.
George A. was at the movies in December '41. They announced it in the lobby what had just gone on. He drove up from Birmingham back to the family's farm.
I got a brand new car that drinks a bunch of gas. I got a house in a neighborhood that's fading fast. I got a dog and a cat that don't fight too much.
There's a big fat man on a mechanical bull in slow motion like Debra Winger. And he gets knocked off and I think he's hurt,. It's a bitch facing facts and figures.
"They looked in the white house and capitol hill. They looked everywhere for buffalo bill. We called every scholar, reporter, and genius. Has anyone seen the president's penis?".
Then drink some more when the morning comes.. Memphis was sinking into the Mississippi.. We were doing our best just to ride it down.. Till the night G.G. Allin came to town..
Honey, take care of the children, make them do as they're told. I got a meeting in the morning down at the end of the Goode's Field Road. Nothing much for a man in my position.
We went to Grand Canyon. And we stood at the expanse. And we watched the rocks change colors. And we watched the shadows dance. And we probably didn't say anything.
He packed a big-ass church out near Rogersville. He drove the Cadillac, she drove the Oldsmobile. Friday he shackened up with the mistress. Doing things that he'd never do with the Mrs..
You were talkin' on that cell phone, driving your Mercedes way too fast. All of the sudden there was this dial tone, you hit the pylons on the overpass.
Flowers flying cross the room. Vases smashed against the floor. Said "I'd rather be alone. Take your chocolates and go home". . Be my valentine. Be my valentine.
Drag the lake, Charlie. Charlie, drag the lake. Lester didn't come home last night. And Wanda's all irate. Better keep your fingers crossed. And hope we find him drowned.
My Daddy called me on a Friday morning, so sad to tell me just what you'd done. You tried so hard to make us all hate you but in the end you was the only one.
[Chorus]. Demonic Possession. His court's in session. I sign my confession. Demonic Possession. . It was raining on the day she told me. Them things that fella sold me.
When I was a young boy, I sniffed a lot of glue. Mom sent me to rehab, they told me what to do. We didn't have much money, the Lord picked up the tab.
Bobby went out for a joy ride with my best girl. Left me at the party,. He was my best friend and I miss him.. It was almost June and the moon illuminated the rain-soaked streets like a candy wrapper..
Daddy's gone away and no one can tell me why. Mama's been so sad. Since Daddy learned to fly. Everybody brought food. And everybody cried. Nothing's been too good.
Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty. To deal with all the madness to keep from blowing up. Daddy needs a drink to calm down the badness. To execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup.
