[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Strap them kids in, give 'em
a lil bit of vodka
In a cherry Coke, we're goin to [G]Oklahoma
[A]To [Em]the family reunion
for the first time in years
It's up at uncle Slaton's
'cause [G]he's getting on in [A]years
You know [Em]he no longer travels
but he's still pretty spry
He's not much on talk
and he's [G]just too mean to [A]die
And they'll [Em]be comin' down from Kansas
and from West Arkansas
It'll be one great big old party
like [G]you've never [A]saw

[Solo 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Uncle Slaton's got his Texan pride
Back in the thickets with [G]his Asian [A]bride
Got [Em]an airstream trailer and a Holstein cow
Still makes whiskey
'cause [G]he still knows [A]how
He plays [Em]that Choctaw Bingo
every Friday night
You know he had to leave Texas
but [G]he won't say [A]why
He owns [Em]a quarter section
up by Lake Eufaula
Caught a great big ol' Bluecat
on [G]a driftin' j[A]ugline
Sells [Em]his hardwood timber to the chippin' mill
Cooks that crystal meth
because [G]his shine don't [A]sell
He cooks [Em]that crystal meth
because his 'shine don't sell
You know he likes that money
he [G]don't mind the [A]smell

[Solo 2]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]My cousin Roscoe, Slaton's oldest boy
From his second marriage up [G]in [A]Illinois
He's raised [Em]in east St. Louis
by his mamma's people
Where they do things different,
thought [G]he'd just come on [A]down
He's goin' [Em]to Dallas, Texas in a semi truck
Caught from that big McDonald's
You know that [G]one that's built up [A]on that
[Em]Great big old bridge
across the Will Rogers turnpike
Took the big cabin exit, stopped
[G]and bought a carton of [A]cigarettes
At [Em]that Indian smoke shop
with the big neon smoke rings
In the Cherokee nation
hit Mus[G]kohgee late that [A]night
[Em]Somebody ran the stoplight
at the Shawnee Bypass
Roscoe tried to miss 'em
but [G]he didn't [A]quite

[Solo 3]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Bob and Mae come up from
Some little town way down by
Lake Texoma, where [G]he coaches [A]football
They [Em]were two-A champions now
for two years running
But he says they won't be this year
No, [G]they won't be [A]this year
And [Em]he stopped off in Tushka
at the pop knife and gun place
Bought a SKS rifle and
[G]a couple full c[A]ases of t[Em]hat steel core ammo
With the Berdan primers
from some East bloc nation
That [G]no longer [A]needs 'em
And [Em]a Desert Eagle
that's one great big old pistol
I mean
fifty caliber made [G]by bad-ass [A]Hebrews
And [Em]some surplus tracers for that old BAR
Of Slaton's as soon as it gets dark
we're [G]gonna have us a [A]time

[Solo 4]
We're gonna
[Em](have us a time)[Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Ruth-Anne and Lynn come down
from Baxter Springs
And that's one hell-raisin' town
Way up [G]in Southeastern [A]Kansas
Got [Em]a biker bar
next to the lingerie store
That's got the Rollin' Stones' lips
Up there [G]in bright pink [A]neon
And [Em]they're right downtown
where everyone can see 'em
And they burn all night
You know [G]they burn all [A]night
You know [Em]they burn all [G]night[A]

[Solo 5]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Ruth-Anne and Lynn
they wear them cut-off britches
And then skinny little halters
and [G]they're second [A]cousins to me
[Em]Man, I dont care,
I wanna get between them
With a great big 'ol hard-on
Like [G]an ol' Bodark [A]fencepost
You [Em]could hang a pipe rail gate from
Do some sister twisters
till the cows come home
And we'll [G]be having us a [A]time

[Solo 6]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Uncle Slaton's got his Texan pride
Back in the thickets with [G]his Asian [A]bride
He's cut [Em]that corner pasture into acre lots
He sells 'em owner [G]financed strictly to [A]them
It's got [Em]no kind of credit
'cause he knows they're slackers
And they'll miss that payment
and then [G]he takes it [A]back
He plays [Em]that Choctaw Bingo
every Friday night
He drinks his Johnny Walker
at [G]that club [A]69
We're [Em]gonna strap them kids in
give 'em a lil' bit of Benadryl
In a cherry Coke
we're goin [G]to [A]Oklahoma
[Em]Gonna have us a time
Gonna have us a [G]time[A]
