Well,  I walked in to one of my old haunts.
 It used to be  a honky-tonk Heaven.
Some  old slicker done bought the place,
 An' lit it up  like a 7-11.
Yes,  they fired the band that used to play,
"Okie  From Muskogee".
An'  hired some dude with his hat on back'ards,
 Singin' hip-hop  and karaoke.
 Shoulda know  it was gonna happen,
Bein'  this close town.
 Oh but I  know a beer joint back in the woods,
 That them city  folks still ain't found.
 You make a right  at the stomp with the barbed  wire in it,
 Where the old  church used to be.
Then  a mile mad curve on the gravel,
 Gonna throw you right off  the road into Choctaw Creek.
There's  a one-lane bridge, just keep  it in the middle,
 Pretty soon  that road's gonna end.
Welcome  to Ray Ray's Juke Joint down in the holler:
 Y'all come back again.
 Mmm, Mmm, ah ha.
We  got ice-cold beer, an' chicken an' ribs,
Cookin'  on the grill out back.
Three  plays for a quarter on the jukebox in the corner,
 An' it's full  of Hank, Haggard an' Cash.
They  got a long-legged waitress wearin' cut-off jeans;
 She's quick  to take your order.
Better  leave her a tip but don't give her no lip, y'all:
 That girl  is Ray Ray's daughter.
They'll  make you feel like family,
 An' everybody  is your friend.
 But there's  been folks messed up down there,
 That ain't never  been seen again.
 You make a right  at the stomp with the barbed  wire in it,
 Where the old  church used to be.
Then  a mile mad curve on the gravel,
 Gonna throw you right off  the road into Choctaw Creek.
There's  a one-lane bridge, just keep  it in the middle,
 Pretty soon  that road's gonna end.
