Oh, Rufus Amos Adams
Was born in 1947
Down in Midway, Alabama
Off of Highway 83
With his Mom and Dad and sister
He lived there 'till he was seven
Then they moved to Tuscaloosa
When his dad was transferred
Oh, Rufus
Oh, Rufus Amos Adams
A boy from Alabama
Who grew up to be a man
When he graduated high school
Oh, Rufus went to Auburn
Where he had a partial scholarship
And a handful of friends
And nine semesters later
With a degree in engineering
Rufus moved to Mobile
Found a job, and took a wife
Oh, Rufus
Oh, Rufus Amos Adams
A boy from Alabama
Who grew up to be a man
Rufus had three children
And a mortgage, and a Plymouth
They'd drive down to Pensacola
Every summer for a week
He still lives in Alabama
Where he's working for the county
He'll retire in a few years
And some day, he'll die
Oh, Rufus
Oh, Rufus Amos Adams
A man from Alabama
