We're gonna take you up to McNairy County, Tennessee

Back in the days when Sheriff Buford Pusser ran things around there

Sheriff Buford Pusser was tryin' to clean up McNairy County, Tennessee

From all them bootleggers that was bringin' crime and corruption

And illegal liquor into his little dry county

And for his troubles he got ambushed and his wife was murdered

And his house got blown up, and they made a movie about it called Walking Tall

This is the other side of that story.
