Well, life´s been kind of trippy down here in Mississippi Since Cassie O´Grady disappeared And me and my Bob Shaver been in all the newspapers
Every day for naught on a year They say we got tangled in a love triangle A fatal game of truth or dare
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)
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
She was a cold gold-digger tickling a hand 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)
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
But there´s nobody, 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
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 were 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
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)
