Drive-By Truckers - Wallace lyrics

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 Cadillac

Oh Alabama
