My wife was stationed at Maxwell & we had a house at Prattville years back. I remember we took the ATV to Geneva State Forest & the roads in the area all were tinted red. Oh, Sweet Home Alabama!

All I know about Birmingham is what I learned from the Drive-by Truckers' song, "Biringham", and that it was named after the British city because of the iron and Steel connection.

Actually, everything I know about ALABAMA comes from DBT. I'm sweating through my hat just thinking about it.... Seems like a tough and dangerous place -- choose your friends wisely, and Don't piss off the Boys from Alabama, 'cause they're Never Gonna Change

They're rollin' on the Avenue
They're probably comin' after you
And they'all look mean and strong

Mean and strong like liquor
Mean and strong like fear

Strong like the people from South Alabama
And mean like the people from here

Take it from me
We ain't never gonna change

Based on the World of the Truckers, I am looking forward to some pics of your Buick Grand National, Highway 72, the boat you finally sold five years ago, fishing or water skiing off the Wilson Dam, and some HS football.

That's a handsome truck, and NOT a crew cab, but a Longbed like God intended!

PS -- Jason Isbell gets all the press, but Mike Cooley might be my favorite songwriter of our times. .

Don't mean I got nothin' to say."

Woah ... I suddenly remembered Yelawulf! A 'Bama boy who has seven tracks titled "BOX CHEVY (N)", and counting!

The tracks seem to be mostly about boxy sedans similar to what the West Coast rappers celebrate, those being better gunships in general. But your sweet black ride looks SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE this black K-series I tried to ID from a Yelawulf video.

Long analysis with pics of black square HERE:

I thought for a moment you might BE Yelawulf, but your truck is not painted or vinyl wrapped in heinous green like a huge 4Loko. Also, there don't seem to be any dead people or deer carcasses in your yard where the truck is parked:

You must be registered for see images attach


Anyway, welcome. Here is a playlist of "Box Chevy" videos by Alabama's very own Kid Rock:
