Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I walked in to one of my old haunts
It used to be a honky-tonk heaven
Some ol' slicker done bought the place
And lit it up like a 7-Eleven
Yes, they fired the band that used to play
Okie From Muskogee
And hired some dude with his hat on backwards
Singin' hip-hop and karaoke
[Verse 2]
I shoulda knowed it was gonna happen
Bein' this close town
Aww, but I know a beer joint back in the woods
That them city folks still ain't found
[Verse 3]
You make a right at the stump with the barbed wire in it
Where the old church used to be
Well, now mind that curve or the gravel gonna throw you
Right off in the 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
[Verse 4]
Mmm
They got ice-cold beer and chicken and 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 and Cash
They got a long-legged waitress wearin' cut-off jeans
She's quick to take your order
You better leave her a tip, but don't give her no lip
Y'all, that girl is Ray Ray's daughter
[Verse 5]
They'll make you feel like family
And everybody is your friend
But there's been folks messed up down there
That ain't never been seen again
[Verse 6]
You make a right at the stump with the barbed wire in it
Where the old church used to be
Well, now mind that curve or the gravel gonna throw you
Right off in the 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
[Verse 7]
Yeah, you make a right at the stump with the barbed wire in it
Where the old church used to be
Well, now mind that curve or the gravel gon' throw you
Right off in the Choctaw Creek
There's a one-lane bridge, just keep it in the middle
Pretty soon that road gonna end
Welcome to Ray Ray's Juke Joint, down in the holler
Y'all come back again
Welcome to Ray Ray's Juke Joint, down in the holler
Y'all come back again
[Verse 8]
Aw, don't be scared
Nice place
Mmm
