Drive-By Truckers - The Buford Stick Lyrics
Now Sheriff Buford Pusser's gotten too big for his britches
With his book reviews and movie deals
Down at the car lot making public appearances
For breaking up our homes and stills
I know he likes to brag how he wrestled a bear
Ask him for a warrant, he'll say "I keep it in my shoe"
That son of a bitch has got to go
That son of a bitch has got to go
Now they lined up around the block to see that movie
And crying for his ambushed wife
Marveling about about shot eight times and stabbed seven
Some folks can't take a hint
They say he didn't take no crap from the State Line Gang
What the hell they talking bout?
And he made my daughter cry
Said he made my daughter cry
"Watch out for Buford!" is what they keep on telling me
But to me he's just another crooked lawman up in Tennessee
He gets a new hot car to keep us on our toes
And that ridiculous stick where the press corp. goes
And some big time Hollywood actors playing him on the big screen
"Watch out for Buford! He's shutting down our stills and whores"
But it ain't like he's all that different from what was there before
It wouldn't take my man long to do the job
Just a partially sawed through steering rod
And I wouldn't have to worry about the good Sheriff anymore
Now the funeral's got'em lined up for twenty blocks
No one liked that SOB when he's alive
But the ruckus he began keeps a spreadin' like a wildfire
Not sure if I'm gonna survive
Hit an embankment doing 120 on a straight-away
The Lord works in mysterious ways
They'll probably make another movie, glorifying what he done
But I'll never have to hear them say
I'll never have to hear them say
Watch out for Buford

Drive-By Truckers The Buford Stick Comments
What in the fuck is this disrespectful shit??
He was a great man in my book..What a shame
I wonder what made them sing about Pusser and the state line.
There was a mafia type of people known as the State Line Mob. They were involved in whiskey running and prostitution around the Tennessee Mississippi border area
they were from the area. and wanted to tell the tale of the people who pusser waged war against.
These assholes couldn't play their way out of a wet paper bag! Who in the hell signed these no talent Fucks to a record contract?!?!
corrupt law men Vs southern organized crime equals a good story
from below: ' criminals are people too with families to feed and bills to pay' ...so it's OK to hurt other people to take care of your people? what about the victims of crime, don't they have 'families to feed and bills to pay'?
small wonder the world is such a horrible place. people are just terrible at thinking.
as in , yes its ok to hurt people.
they also will never say watch out for the drive by schmukers. very WEAK!!!
@rtschoolboy lol wtf is a schmuker? Is that even a word?
@rtschoolboy Say what you will about them, but they tell the other side of the story. Without this band, a lot of people never would have known how much of a piece of shit pusser was. Also, your insult sounds like it was written by a eunich.
@gavin dies so, one song tells how Pusser was? The hillbilly logic is fascinating.
No, his actions tell how he was. I had my dad tell me about Pusser an my dad knew he was a dick. This song can at least get the other side of the story told, even if it is not direct.
@rtschoolboy Buford actually was a corrupt lawman. They made a movie and they people see him different
bufford pusser was a piece of shat for taking bribes, busting up stills, etc., but how can anyone defend the mafia?
Wheres your proof of your allegations bud??
mark s Weres your proof he didn't? If you lived in that area which I doubt you did one thing I can tell you for sure he came down far harder on the ones he didn't like. If you were on his good side you could get by with far more. I don't know what you call that I call it corruption.
@CAWD FATHER that's called small towns...
these guys are pieces of shit...the singer might actual be something if he got away from the horiffing guitar players..they fucking suck
@viper11470 butt hurt much over the dead pig?
Buford Pussy!
my dad had shined before and he actually liked that movie and I never understood why, even from age 10 or so I thought that was a prick of a bastard and wondered why he carried a stick and noone bothered to just shoot his sorry ass. I listened to this song a lot but cant really remember the movie but I bet its hilarious they kill his wife. motherfuckers. shouldve killed his kids too if he had any. not sure if he did or not. motherfuckers are a species that dont deserve to be breathing my air.
It's been 5 years, but you're still a piece of shit who doesn't deserve to breathe. You're probably reading this from jail, you criminal scumbag.
TeboShepherd STFU soy boy
good for you.
I'd say from your remarks about killing his kids, You are Proof some Abortions Live.
I think the crank has been hard on this guy...
this songs about how black and white ain't always so damn black and white, it's from the "criminals" perspective but criminals are people too with families to feed and bills to pay and buford causes more trouble because everybodys in on it, like what's going on between moonshiners, and what's probably gonna go down between the federal government and local sheriffs when that gun ban or whatever it is they're trying to push goes down, a lot of sheriffs and people won't put up with it
Propaganda garbage
