Riley Green changed a lyric in “Hell of A Way to Go” on Saturday in Nashville after getting booed by the Tennessee Volunteers-loving crowd.  He told the audience, quote, “I’ve only done this one other time.”

 

Of course, the lyric in question is, quote, “Watchin’ Alabama whoop up on Tennessee.”  He got cheers after he changed it to, quote, “Alabama’s getting the hell kicked out of them by Tennessee.”
