(Title: “Timmy Don’t Play”) Verse 1 Spring of twenty-twelve on a north Alabama field Two little girls in pigtails, swingin’ for the fence That’s where I met that Madison County man Roll Tide in his blood and a Braves cap sittin’ bent We coached them girls from T-ball to travel ball glory Red clay on our boots and fire in their eyes He’d yell “Level swing, baby!” then look at me and grin “Brother, we’re raisin’ lightning under these Friday night skies” Chorus Yeah, Timmy don’t play, no he don’t back down Straight as Highway 31, tough as Tuscaloosa ground Put a man twice his size flat in a roadside ditch Tore-up shoulder, still smilin’ with that country boy grit Lawman’s son, carryin’ on what his daddy Joe began Bleeds crimson on Saturday, tomahawk chop for the Braves, man Raise one high for the king of these Alabama pines Timmy don’t play, boys—Timmy just rolls with the Tide Verse 2 October mornings he’s ghost-quiet in a ladder stand Deer never hear him comin’, they just hit the ground They swear that man could drop a ten-point at a thousand yards With a damn wrist-rocket and a grin turned upside down Three daughters raised country-hard by a hot-headed German queen Momma bear don’t play neither—best step light in that house Allie’s out front-row screamin’ every Riley Green song While Daddy’s back home proud as hell down in the Heart of Dixie south Bridge Scars on his shoulder, houndstooth heart twice his size Cooler full of cold ones and Saban in his eyes If you’re one of his people, he’ll fight the whole damn world For his brothers, his babies, them three softball girls Final Chorus (crowd hollerin’) Here’s to Timmy, legend in a faded Braves cap and a Bama tee From the softball diamond to the jailhouse, he’s as good as they come to me Whole county sings when he rolls through Timmy don’t play, naw—Timmy just do So pour one slow for my brother Tim Wherever you are tonight, big dog—Roll Tide and Amen This one’s for you, Timmy Hell yeah, Timmy don’t play.
