Choctaw County Affair lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, life's been kind of trippy down here in Mississippi

Since Cassie O'Grady disappeared

And me and Bobby Shaver been in all the newspapers

Every day for nigh on a year

They say we got tangled in a love triangle

A fatal game of truth or dare

[Chorus]

But the truth remains a mystery and now it's ancient history

It's a Choctaw County affair

It's just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)

Well, people talkin' 'bout it everywhere (Choctaw County affair)

[Verse 2]

Well, Cassie O'Grady was no Southern lady

Despite all the media hype

They all loved to make her out like a sweet little devout

All-American cheerleader type

But her mind was cattywampus

She was greedy, she was pompous

Strutting 'round with her nose in the air

[Chorus]

She was a cold gold-digger tickling a hair trigger

It's a Choctaw County affair

It's just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)

And now they say she's lying dead somewhere (Choctaw County affair)

[Verse 3]

Well, I do not deny, I wished Cassie would die

When she threatened us with blackmail

She said she had some information that would wreck my reputation

And land Bobby back in jail

Now it's best to remember Bobby Shaver's got a temper

Like a buck-shot grizzly bear

[Chorus]

But there's no body, there's no witness

So y'all go mind your business

It's a Choctaw County affair

It's just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)

Oh, you mess with Bobby and you better beware (Choctaw County affair)

Yeah yeah-yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]

Well, the press went wild on the day of the trial

When they put us on the witness stand

They thought we'd turn on each other, but soon they all discovered

We would live or die, hand in hand

And that fancy D.A. from down Jackson way

Said he'd see us in the electric chair, ha

[Chorus]

But the foreman of the jury told me "Honey, don't you worry, it's a Choctaw county affair", yeah

(Choctaw County affair)

Yeah, it's just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair), yeah

How would you know 'cause you weren't there (Choctaw County affair)

It's just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)

Mmm, yeah, yeah (Choctaw County affair)
