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.
Hey ump, a blind man could've made that call.

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.
Go off to toast the boys again.
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...

  16. M.... &....

    I'm eating a dog right now with with mustard and relish 🌭🌭

  17. S.... E....

    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.

  18. S.... !....

    😘😘👌

  23. T.... ....

    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.

  24. m.... s....

    "Major League, Back to the Minors" One of the funniest sports movies ever------Loved the mascot flipping the opponents the bird!

  25. S.... S....

    GREAT SONG...ROLL TIDE ROLL

  26. h.... ....

  29. B.... F....

    Baseball will always be America’s past time

  30. H.... B....

    Love seeing my home town baseball Team, The Carolina Mud Cats, in this video.

  31. b.... ....

    Go Cardinals!!!

  32. I.... F....

    I don't really dig country/southern rock, but this song always makes me smile.

  33. H.... F....

    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.

  34. R.... S....

    At Plymout Indiana there's a wonderful High School Ball Park. This was a standard song played over the PA.

  35. o.... ....

    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

  36. M.... V....

    I wanted to hate this..

  37. H.... F....

    This looks like a scene in the town of Valley, in Eastern Time Zone!

  38. A.... B....

    I bet this is in Lannett in Eastern Time Zone!

  39. R.... T....

    Anyone have any idea where they filmed this?

  40. C.... S....

    Just a nice song

  41. M.... M....

    This song is stupid

    M.... M....

    you're stupid

  42. J.... G....

    Damn i really love this song

  43. T.... S....

    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?

  44. A.... A....

    The old baseball field is gone now & the town has really changed here in fort Payne

  45. S.... ....

    Ya Gotta Minor League Baseball. I love this song!

  46. a.... m....

    I live in a town with AAA baseball...and I can afford the cheap seats. I had forgotten all about this song.

  47. C.... F....

    But Chattanooga is AA, not AAA.

  48. E.... S....

    It is took at Engel Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1885. It now change to Stadium for Spring Fling. I'm proud of that.

  49. P.... S....

    Go Albuquerque Isotopes!!!!!

  50. D.... ....

    “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

    D.... ....

    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.

  51. R.... ....

    I used to listen to this song a lot due to loving country music and baseball

  52. S.... V....

    Best song for fans of baseball

  53. K.... K....

    I like the song

  54. M.... B....

    That unibrow was glorious

  55. h.... ....

    this song reminds me of my childhood playing ball 😭❤️⚾

  56. A.... O....

    minor league ball is fun to watch in person :)

  57. D.... S....

    I love this song I listen to it every day. 😊😊😊

  58. C.... M....

    Boy, I used to have the biggest crush on these guys

  59. S.... V....

    Great baseballl song

  60. J.... D....

    GO Boys.I love that song.

  61. C.... R....

    Historic Engel Stadium. I’d love to watch a game there again!!

  62. R.... T....

    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.

  63. S.... J....

    There is much to say about small town life and the simple things of life.

  64. C.... H....

    Best band in the world

  65. L.... R....

    Happy opening day!

  66. H.... Y....

    This song sums up why baseball fans love baseball. It's fun.

  67. Y.... Y....

    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.

  68. T.... D....

    This must be about the Pittsburgh pirates. AAA team, mediocre pitching, fan focus on condiments and crap beer

  69. D.... P....

    Great walk up song

  70. J.... G....

    He reminds me of Festus on Gunsmoke, no disrespect Festus was cool.

  71. B.... R....

    Cheap seats? Where? Where?

  72. M.... A....

    Spring training around the corner

  73. t.... ....

    can't wait to catch some AAA Charlotte Knights baseball action!

  74. E.... S....

    al sharp

  75. C.... C....

    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 😁😁😎😎😁😁😎😎

  76. M.... S....

    The guy at 2:48 is sexy

  77. l.... ....

    Go Astros !!!

  78. a.... a....

    Nice wholesome song about spending time around a great game

  79. M.... C....

    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.

    M.... C....

    Wahoo's? that's too cute !!!

    M.... C....

    nice to know that

    M.... C....

    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.

    M.... C....

    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

    M.... C....

    the mudcats are still in NC. i go all the time

  80. D.... C....

    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!!!

    D.... C....

    Yeah Wendell use to to say bullshit Betty and we used to run his ass over with a sled good times

  81. {.... N....

    I'm 28 and this is the song my daddy played going to my games

  82. S.... K....

    It's curious that a couple shots of Randy Owen are done in front of a football scoreboard.

    S.... K....

    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.

  83. A.... M....

    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.

  84. L.... C....

    Great song

  85. t.... ....

    alright! north carolina baseball! go knights! good luck mudcats!

  86. C.... B....

    Jesus this has to be one of the top ten shittiest songs ever recording lol

  89. m.... c....

    m.... c....

    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!!! :(

  90. D.... S....

    i like the cheap seats in Toledo the Mudhens atleast it's triple A

  91. s.... f....

    this song makes me think of the cleveland indians
