"Wallace" lyrics - DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS
Throw another log on the fire, boys, George Wallace is comin' to stay
When he met St. Peter at the pearly gates, I'd like to think that a black man stood in his 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
George Wallace is coming
Now, he said he was the best friend that 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 that way
And hell's just a little bit hotter 'cause he played his hand so well
Well he had what it took to take it so far, now the devil's got a Wallace sticker
Now the devil's got a Wallace sticker
Now the devil's got a Wallace sticker on the back of his Cadillac
Oh, Alabama
Oh, Alabama
Oh, Alabama
Oh
