Intro: D

D
Well, I walked in to one of my old haunts.
           G               D
It used to be a honky-tonk Heaven.
D
Some old slicker done bought the place,
           G         D
An' lit it up like a 7-11.
D
Yes, they fired the band that used to play,
G          D
"Okie From Muskogee".
D 
An' hired some dude with his hat on back'ards,
        G           D 
Singin' hip-hop and karaoke.


        G     
Shoulda know it was gonna happen,
D
Bein' this close town.
       E
Oh but I know a beer joint back in the woods,
          A
That them city folks still ain't found.


           D                           F
You make a right at the stomp with the barbed wire in it,
          G                  D 
Where the old church used to be.
D                            F
Then a mile mad curve on the gravel,
                      G                         D
Gonna throw you right off the road into Choctaw Creek.
D                               F
There's a one-lane bridge, just keep it in the middle,
       G                      D
Pretty soon that road's gonna end.

Y'all come back again.

Mmm, Mmm, ah ha.




D
We got ice-cold beer, an' chicken an' ribs,
G                        D
Cookin' on the grill out back.
D
Three plays for a quarter on the jukebox in the corner,
         G                         D
An' it's full of Hank, Haggard an' Cash.
D  
They got a long-legged waitress wearin' cut-off jeans;
      G                  D 
She's quick to take your order.
D
Better leave her a tip but don't give her no lip, y'all:
     G                 D
That girl is Ray Ray's daughter.


G
They'll make you feel like family,
    D
An' everybody is your friend.
    E 
But there's been folks messed up down there,
           A
That ain't never been seen again.
