Let  this be a lesson to you girl:  Don't come  around where  you know you don't belong.
They're  riding on the avenue and probably  coming  after you and they all  look mean  and strong.
Mean  and strong like liquor.
Mean  and strong like fear.
Strong  like the people from South  Alabama  and mean  like the people from here.
Take  it from me
  We ain't never gonna change.
 Daddy used to empty out his shotgun shells and fill 'em full of black-eyed peas.
 He'd aim real low and tear out your ankles or rip right through your knees.
 There ain't much traffic on the highway. There ain't much traffic on the lake.
 The ATF and the ABI got everything they could take.
 Take it from me… They didn't take it from me.
We  ain't never gonna change.
 We ain't doin' nothin' wrong.
 We ain't never gonna change
 so shut your mouth and play along.
 I thought about going in the army. I thought about going overseas.
 I wouldn't have trouble with a piss test; only problem is my bad left knee.
 My brother got picked up at Parker's, got him a ride in a new Crown Vic.
 They said that he was movin' on a federal level but they couldn't really make it stick.
 Take it from me…
 We ain't never gonna change.
 We ain't doin' nothin' wrong.
 We ain't never gonna change
 so shut your mouth and play along.
 You can throw me in the Colbert County jailhouse.
 You can throw me off the Wilson Dam
 but there ain't much difference in the man I wanna be and the man I really am.
 We ain't never gonna change.

We ain't doin' nothin' wrong.

We ain't never gonna change

so shut your mouth and play along.

I thought about going in the army. I thought about going overseas.
I wouldn't have trouble with a piss test; only problem is my bad left knee.
My brother got picked up at Parker's, got him a ride in a new Crown Vic.

Take it from me…

We ain't never gonna change.
We ain't doin' nothin' wrong.

so shut your mouth and play along.

You can throw me in the Colbert County jailhouse.
You can throw me off the Wilson Dam
but there ain't much difference in the man I wanna be and the man I really am.

We ain't never gonna change.
