  • 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 'cause 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
