Strap them kids and give them a little bit of vodka
And a chair, a couple of [G] them to [A] Oklahoma
[E] To the family reunion for the first time in years
Except that Uncle [G] Slayton's car's been getting [A] old in years
You [E] know he no longer travels but he's still pretty spry
There's not much on talking, [G] he's just too [A] new to die
And [E] they'll be coming down from Kansas and from West Arkansas
It'll be one big old party [Gm] like never [A] saw

Uncle Slayton's got his taxa fried
Back in the thickets [G] with his [A] Asian buddies
[E] Got a Airstream trailer and an old skinned cow
He still makes whiskey [G] cause he still [A] knows how
He [E] plays that Chalk Talk Bingo every Friday night
And boy he had to leave Texas [G] but he [A] won't say why
He [E] won't order a section or a bottle
He'll let you fall up, caught a great big old blue cat
[G] On a [A] brick and juggled [E] ourselves
He'll give you a little of his hardwood timber
To ship [Em] you in mail
[E] He'll sell you crystal meth [G] cause the shine [A] don't sell
[E] He'll sell you crystal meth cause the shine don't sell
You know it, he likes that money, [G] he don't mind [A] the smell

cousin Ross Doe, Slayton's oldest boy from second marriage
[G] I've been to [A] Illinois, [E] raised in East St.
Louis
And by his mama's people where they do things different
[G] But he'll just [A] come on down, he's [E] going to Dallas, Texas
In a semi-truck, draw from that big McDonald's
You [G] know the [A] one that's still [E] called that
Great big old bridge across the Will Rogers
Turned back to the big cabin exit
[G] Stopped in and bought a [A] part in a cigarette [E] set
That Indian smoke shop with the big neon smoke
We're the Cherokee Nation
[D] Hit my school getter [A] that night
[E] Somebody ran into the stoplight
At the Shawnee Bypass
Ross Doe tried to miss him, [G] but he didn't [A] quite

Bob and me come up from some little town
Way down in the lakes, Texas
Where [G] he [A] coaches football
[E] And they were two-way champions now for two years running
But he says they won't be this year, [G] no they won't [A] be this year
[E] And he stopped off in Tusca
At that pop-knife and gun place
He's bought a SKS rifle and [G] a couple [A] full cases [E] of that
Steel-core ammo with a bird and primers
From some East Block nation [G] that no [A] longer needs them [E] now
Desert Eagle, that's one great big old pistol
I mean, fifth caliber [G] made by [A] badass Hebrews
[E] _ _
Surplus tracers for that old BAR of Slavens
Soon as it gets dark we're [G] gonna have [A] us a time
We're [E] gonna have us a time _ _ _ _ _ _

[A] _ _ [E] Rick Van and Len come down from Baxter Springs
That one area in [G] Timweb and [A] Southeastern Kansas
[E] Got a fire bar next to the laundry store
That's got the Rolling Stones' lips up [G] there
And [A] Rapping Eon
[E] And they're right downtown where everyone can see them
And they burn all night, and, [G] well, they burn [A] all night
[E] They burn all night _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] [E] Ruth Van and Len, they were them cut-off britches
And them skinny little hawkbirds
[G] And their [A] second cousins to [E] them
And Len and I don't care how warm
Get between them with a great big old hard-on
[G] Like an old [A] bulldog, that's poor she [E] good
Hang a five-rail gig from Lucy
Sister Twistin' till the cows come home
You know [G] we'll have [A] us a time
We're [E] gonna have us a time _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] And Uncle Swaden's got an extra bride
Back in the thickest [G] woods, sage [A] and bright
He cut [E] that corner pasture into a baker [Bm] lot
[E] She sells it on her finance, [G] strictly [A] to him
That's got [E] no kind of credit
Cause he knows they're slackers
And they'll miss that payment
[G] And he takes [A] it back and brings [E] the
Chop-topping, whatever, Friday night
He drinks his Johnny Walker at [G] that Club [A] 69
We're [E] gonna strap them kids in
Give them a little bit of pentadrug
And a cherry Coke
We're going [G] to [A] Oklahoma
[E] We're gonna have us a time
_ _ Gonna have us a time
