Where did you get the line “They call Alabama the Crimson Tide/Call me Deacon Blues”?
Walter and I had been working on that song at a house in Malibu. I played him that line, and he said. “You mean it’s like, ‘They call these cracker a-holes this grandiose name like the Crimson Tide, and I’m this loser, so they call me this other grandiose name, Deacon Blues?”‘ And I said, “Yeah!” He said, “Cool! Let’s finish it!”
But, did you know that they were not talking about Wake Forest? Since they knew nothing about football, but had heard the name Deacon Jones.
Here is another article that quotes the writers.

-- When asked about the line, "They call Alabama the Crimson Tide, call me Deacon Blues," Donald Fagen told Rolling Stone magazine: "Walter and I had been working on that song at a house in Malibu. I played him that line, and he said, 'You mean it's like, 'They call these cracker a--holes this grandiose name like the Crimson Tide, and I'm this loser, so they call me this other grandiose name, Deacon Blues?' and I said 'Yeah!' He said, 'Cool, let's finish it.'"
Laugh as much as you'd like. Great song, great football program. Think I detect a hint of jealousy.
Perhaps its because when Bama plays, most opponents (and their fans) feel they've been subjected to 'Come On Eileen' (Dexys Midnight Runners). They certainly seem to impacted by 'If you see Kay' (April Wine), which becomes a regular response. I've witnessed this in tRant's safe-space 9 out of the past 10 seasons.

Trace Adkins Lyrics
"Ala-Freakin-Bama"
She wore a pink 'Bama do-rag
Smackin' on Juicy Fruit
Red clay stickin'
To her Timberland boots
A tight white t-shirt
Showin' off her Talledega tan
I said darlin' where you from
She said, watch your tongue
Do you really have to ask
[Chorus:]
I'm from Ala-Freakin-Bama
Ala-Freakin-Bama
Tell me what's it to ya
Ala-Freakin-Bama
'Bama
I said slow down sister
Don't mean to make you mad
I grew up on Skynyrd
And I'm a Bear Bryant fan
I can roll with the flow
Baby, you can roll with the tide
I don't mind if you do
I think it's kinda cute
The way you say it with pride
When you say
Ala-Freakin-Bama (Ala-Freakin-Bama)
Ala-Freakin-Bama (Ala-Freakin-Bama)
From her boots to her bandana
She screams Ala-Freakin-Bama
'Bama
I can roll with the flow
Baby, you can roll with the tide
I don't mind if you do
I actually think it's kind of cute
The way you say it with pride
Say it for me baby
Ala-Freakin-Bama (Ala-Freakin-Bama)
Ala-Freakin-Bama (Ala-Freakin-Bama)
Baby, open of a can of Ala-Freakin-Bama,
Ala-Freakin-Bama
'Bama
"Ala-Freakin-Bama"
She wore a pink 'Bama do-rag
Smackin' on Juicy Fruit
Red clay stickin'
To her Timberland boots
A tight white t-shirt
Showin' off her Talledega tan
I said darlin' where you from
She said, watch your tongue
Do you really have to ask
[Chorus:]
I'm from Ala-Freakin-Bama

I think it's kinda cute

You're taking some serious abuse...probably should just ease on out of this thread.

Bama football gives Toothless sidewalk fans a reason to live.

pretty sure crisp is on this LSU/SEC board with 20k posts because 10k of them are melts after 2019 best team of all time.
46-41 damaged your psyche
2019 best team of all time crushed you altogether.
i really don't think you are smart enough to keep up with me in multiple threads. you are truly ignorant.

The best team ever would at least have the #1 overall pick in the draft
Am I right?

You are arguing against a guy who just admitted that he’s in the same Pensacola trailer park that he was in when his dad threatened emmit smith after he chose florida over the tahd.
