Jamey Johnson – Ray Rays Juke Joint (Ukulele)

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.

D
Welcome to Ray Ray's Juke Joint down in the holler:

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.

           D                           F
