From the liner notes: [Scene: set in Hell, September 1998. Told from the Devil’s point of view]

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 Cadillac

Oh Alabama (3x)
