Well lifes been kind of trippy down here in Mississippi
Since Cassie OGrady disappeared
And me and my Bob 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

But the truth remains a mystery and now its ancient history
Its a Choctaw County affair
Its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)
Well people talkin bout it everywhere (Choctaw County affair)

Well Cassie OGrady 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
Its a Choctaw County affair
Its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)
And now they say shes 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 its best to remember Bobby Shavers got a temper
Like a buck-shot grizzly bear

But theres nobody theres no witness
So yall go mind your business
Its a Choctaw County affair
Its 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 wed 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 hed see us in the electric chair ha

But the foreman of the jury told me honey dont you worry
Its a Choctaw county affair yeah
(Choctaw County affair)
Yeah its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair) yeah
How would you know cause you werent there (Choctaw County affair)
Its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)
Mmm yeah yeah (Choctaw County affair)
