Country Music Star Booed In Ruthless Fashion During Concert Over Alabama Lyrics: VIDEO

Published|Updated

Riley Green learned the hard way to not sing about Alabama beating Tennessee while in Knoxville.

Green is one of the fast rising names in country music. The man pumps out hits, and has built a very loyal following over recent years. One of his most popular songs is "Hell of a Way to Go." It's an absolute jam that includes a shoutout about Alabama beating Tennessee.

The lyrics to the popular song go as follows:

He was sittin' on a lake like glass
Catchin' Largemouth Bass
Just awaitin' on me
Or maybe on a fifty-yard line
Watchin' 'Bama beat the hell out of Tennessee
Or maybe on a front porch swing
Somethin' cold to drink, your momma's hand to hold





Naturally, Knoxville is loaded with Tennessee fans, and they weren't exactly pleased when the Alabama native let it rip during his recent performance when singing the song.

Riley Green booed during "Hell of a Way to Go."

They let him have it, and loud booing erupted all around Green. Watch the funny moment unfold below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Later, Green swapped the lyrics to have Tennessee beating Alabama, and the place erupted with joy. That's what we like to call quick thinking.

Stuff like this is always awesome to see. College sports fans - especially football - are cut from a different kind of cloth. Rivalries are passed down from generation to generation. The hatred for rival programs lives on in people's DNA.

The country music singer from Alabama tried rolling into Knoxville and singing about the Crimson Tide hammering the Volunteers.

The fans weren't having it at all, and weren't afraid to let him have it. You simply love to see that kind of passion, and it's not even football season!

Props to Green for calling a quick audible to not singing the same anti-Tennessee lyrics again. Overall, just an incredibly fun and great moment. Let me know if you agree at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
