Alabama - The Cheap Seats Lyrics
This town ain't big, this town ain't small.
It's a little of both they say.
Our ball club may be minor league but at least it's triple A.
We sit below the Marlboro man, above the right field wall.
We do the wave all by ourself.
We like our beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.
The game was close, we'll call it a win.
That local band is back in town.
They got a kinda minor league sound.
They're not that bad, they're not that good.
But all in all it's understood.
We wanna dance, they wanna play.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
We like our beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.
Cheap seats
Now the majors called up ol' what's his name.
And one more buildin' rises tall.
And suddenly we're all grown up.
And this old town not quite so small.
But I'll always miss the middle size town.
In the middle of the middle-west.
With no name pitchers and local bands,
And mustard and relish and all the rest.
We like our beer flat as can be.
We like our dogs with mustard and relish.
We got a great pitcher what's his name.
Well we can't even spell it.
We don't worry about the pennant much.
We just like to see the boys hit it deep.
There's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.
Cheap seats...

Alabama The Cheap Seats Comments
I lost some respect when I learned how they dogged and treated like shit their drummer because of some stupid "well we don't agree with drums in country music" bullshit
get out and enjoy the sunshine these guys have the right idea
just enjoy life and have fun i have 6 kids we all play baseball
suits and ties are a bunch of hog wash
The best group ever in country music.
One of my favorite Alabama tunes!
in '93 i was caller 20 , this song had to be playing on the radio , i won me 2 Tickets to see and meet Aaron Tippin.
Thanks to Big Frog 104.3 in Oriskany NY. i was just 12 years old back then , but what a time i had.
I got to meet Aaron Tippin . what a great man.
Little fun fact if my memory serves me right the local band in the video was Alabama's original name wild country.
Love this song!
Is that little blonde girl Mark's daughter? She sure wanted his attention at 1:51
these towns voted to leave and voted for Trump.
This is the first country music group I ever listened to. This song never gets old. On that note... GO FRESNO GRIZZLIES!!!
Reno Aces, anyone?
We just like to see the boys hit it deep. - Baseball defined.
The Reno Aces, anyone?
I'm eating a dog right now with with mustard and relish 🌭🌭
I play exactly 0 instruments and this horse merde is an insult to me. For people who can play instruments to shit out such garbage is offensive.
Who’s here because major league back to the minors ? Good song all about baseball.
I see so many familiar places....I live in the next town from Ft Payne......what a great group, love em!
Rainsville?
Nosebleeds yep lol
2:01--I believe it's spelled "Whatsisname."
Ryedzggzgdhdvdhddhd
Ssjsh
😘😘👌
The song represents everything I love about Southern culture. It totally rejects one-upmanship elitist snobbery. In the song, the singer admits that the team, seats, town, beer and band are all mediocre, but they enjoy it anyway. It celebrates the pleasure contentment can bring.
"Major League, Back to the Minors" One of the funniest sports movies ever------Loved the mascot flipping the opponents the bird!
GREAT SONG...ROLL TIDE ROLL
tennessee smokies here! whats your local minor league?
Nashville sounds
always loved Alabama and still do!
Major League: Back to the Minors brought me here ⚾️
Baseball will always be America’s past time
Love seeing my home town baseball Team, The Carolina Mud Cats, in this video.
Go Cardinals!!!
I don't really dig country/southern rock, but this song always makes me smile.
This song is about the American Association which merged some clubs into the International League and Pacific Coast League. This song may be about a AAA team, but the two teams in the video are AA.
At Plymout Indiana there's a wonderful High School Ball Park. This was a standard song played over the PA.
Randy Owen’s unibrow needs a spot in the country music hall of fame. That thing has been going strong since I saw them at The Bowery in Myrtle Beach in 1977
I wanted to hate this..
This looks like a scene in the town of Valley, in Eastern Time Zone!
I bet this is in Lannett in Eastern Time Zone!
Anyone have any idea where they filmed this?
Just a nice song
This song is stupid
you're stupid
Damn i really love this song
Phenomenal song, but horrible video. Not only is Randy standing by a football scoreboard instead of baseball, but the fundamentals of the actors look like they have never played baseball before, and, worst of all, at 2:24 a player is sliding into home from first base. How hard is it to get a real baseball team to go out there and throw the ball around and film some of it?
The old baseball field is gone now & the town has really changed here in fort Payne
Ya Gotta Minor League Baseball. I love this song!
I live in a town with AAA baseball...and I can afford the cheap seats. I had forgotten all about this song.
But Chattanooga is AA, not AAA.
It is took at Engel Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1885. It now change to Stadium for Spring Fling. I'm proud of that.
Go Albuquerque Isotopes!!!!!
“Suddenly were all grown up and this old towns not quite so small”. Idk about anyone else but this one hits me in the feels. SO TRUE
Daniel Yah. Where I live down south in Georgia outside of Atlanta, Suwanee was a small rural town 21 years ago in 1998. Farms & forests only. 11 years later when I moved there in 2007, it was all suburbia with these yuppie upscale liberal subdivisions. It’s quite sad that Suwanee has lost its root as a farm town. Only certain sections remain with old barbed wire fencing in my woods & horse farms integrated into my subdivision along with some parts untouched on the main road.
I used to listen to this song a lot due to loving country music and baseball
Best song for fans of baseball
I like the song
That unibrow was glorious
this song reminds me of my childhood playing ball 😭❤️⚾
minor league ball is fun to watch in person :)
I love this song I listen to it every day. 😊😊😊
Boy, I used to have the biggest crush on these guys
Great baseballl song
GO Boys.I love that song.
Historic Engel Stadium. I’d love to watch a game there again!!
Ah the 90's when I went to my very first minor league baseball game. Thank you Alabama for creating this awesome song and encapsulating the 1990s minor league baseball circuit forever.
There is much to say about small town life and the simple things of life.
Best band in the world
Happy opening day!
This song sums up why baseball fans love baseball. It's fun.
I don't care much for country music, but this is a nice song. The lead singer looks like a guy I wouldn't want to mess with.
This must be about the Pittsburgh pirates. AAA team, mediocre pitching, fan focus on condiments and crap beer
Great walk up song
He reminds me of Festus on Gunsmoke, no disrespect Festus was cool.
Cheap seats? Where? Where?
Spring training around the corner
can't wait to catch some AAA Charlotte Knights baseball action!
al sharp
This is me with every sport. I follow NASCAR a bit since I went to school for it. Yes folks there is a badass school for NASCAR 😁😁😎😎😁😁😎😎
The guy at 2:48 is sexy
Go Astros !!!
Nice wholesome song about spending time around a great game
Fun Fact: This was actually filmed at Engel Stadium in Chattanooga TN. In this video the Chattanooga Lookouts are playing the Carolina Mudcats. The Mudcats disbanded in 2011 and moved to pensacola. They are now known as the Blue Wahoos.
Wahoo's? that's too cute !!!
nice to know that
Not all of it. Some of the scenes were just guys that showed up at Engel Stadium and were picked to be in the video.
Also was filmed in fort Payne Alabama,their hometown the old Davis mill is still there but the actual baseball field this song was about is long gone a parking lot is here now old downtown fort Payne looks about the same but somethings change with time as do we all they got a fan club here newly renovated & updated a short drive from Chattanooga Tennessee
the mudcats are still in NC. i go all the time
Went into Wendel's tent when we were kids and sang hotdogs and relish repeatedly until we got kicked in the f*cking head and he said Gee Whiz!!!
Yeah Wendell use to to say bullshit Betty and we used to run his ass over with a sled good times
I'm 28 and this is the song my daddy played going to my games
It's curious that a couple shots of Randy Owen are done in front of a football scoreboard.
Steve Koenig That scene was shot in Ft. Payne, AL. At the old athletic field, which is no longer there. There was a boxing facility, baseball and football field. I actually put a few points on that board as a kid. It's a used car lot now.
Rumor has it that this song is actually about the old Omaha Royals and Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. It's said that they would have filmed the video there, but during the time frame they had to make the video the CWS would have been going on.
Great song
alright! north carolina baseball! go knights! good luck mudcats!
Jesus this has to be one of the top ten shittiest songs ever recording lol
Coleman Bryan youvealso got to be the top ten stupidest person besides Maxine waters I've heard today
This mufucker don't eats dogs with mustard or relish.
Country music and baseball. 'Merica!
Opening week 2017 lets go!
one of my favorites its too bad this 1 wasn't a number 1 hit they also had another good single that only got to number 2
husband lived in Hickory, NC home of A team Hickory Crawdads, he loved that team and stadium
That's what this song reminds me of!!! I live in Granite Falls not far from Hickory!!! Mom (RIP) and I used to have fun going to the games!!! This song is a classic I rediscovered as an adult after not caring much for Country as a kid!!! But a lot of Alabamals hits could've been pop hits too!!! I still scratch my head wondering why "I'm In A Hurry" didn't chart as a pop hit!!! :(
i like the cheap seats in Toledo the Mudhens atleast it's triple A
this song makes me think of the cleveland indians
The town I have lived in all my life (and still do) is 5.35 square miles..
all those braves fans boo ya!
How bout them Cubs 2016 Champs!!!
Jojo how bout them dawgs national champs 2019
Normal Cubs today. IN DA TOILET!
This song is so amazing. Love it
A song that I can never get enough of!
Funny to see those strong boys dressed in pyjamas on the playground !
DANY (France)
I enjoy playing this at Little League games.
This town is Reno Nevada go Aces
The town may be but the team is the Chattanooga Lookouts.
