Wallace

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 cuz 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
