They beat us every damn year It's been a minute since we pulled out of
wind I loaded the truck down with beer
I drove down to watch them do it again And they did, so we went to the bar right
after Met a girl with a houndstooth print of
her chapter on her shirt And it turned into talking all night
She came back with me, crossed the Volstead line
Guess the joke's on Alabama Cause they lost big this time
I got the number one pick, Bonnie Redlips Brought her over to the underside
A little deep side there to gamble Done found a smoking mountain man
Yeah, she was raised rope-tied till the day she died
But ever since that night, she's been a Tennessee friend
She likes riding on them winding roads The smell of sweet pine in the air
I took her about as high as you could go You could still see Tuscaloosa from there
And all them girls back home say, how could you love them
All them boys probably hate me for taking her from them
Lord knows her mom and daddy'd all drop If they heard her singing every word of rock
and top Guess the joke's on Alabama
Cause they lost big this time I got the number one pick, Bonnie Redlips
Brought her over to the underside A little deep side there to gamble
Done found a smoking mountain man Yeah, she was raised rope-tied till the day she died
But ever since that night, she's been a Tennessee friend
It's alright, let's just call it even Cause she's alright and she ain't ever leaving
And she's damn fine and orange every weekend for now
Yeah, she found home
Looks like the joke's on Alabama Cause they lost big this time
I got the number one pick, Bonnie Redlips Brought her over to the underside
A little deep side there to gamble Done found a smoking mountain man
Yeah, she was raised rope-tied till the day she died
But ever since that night, she's been a Tennessee friend
Oh, she's been a Tennessee friend
