Question #63976. mementoflash asks:

"From South Alabama come a country boy..." What song is this a lyric from?

McGruff

Bad, Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce. (He said he was lookin' for a man named Jim.)

It's Jim Croce, all right, but "You don't mess around with Jim" is the song.

Bingo!

Ha! And the song has been going through my head since I answered this and I still didn't realize it. My bad!

The two songs are actually very similar - they tell nearly the same story, but Leroy Brown is much more polished.
