Lyrics
I woke up this mornin, I was feelin kinda low. So I jumped in my truck, and headed down the road. I was lookin for something, to kinda help me out, and ease all my pain of misery and doubt.
I saw a tore up sign that was nailed to a tree, so I slowly drove on up, to see what I could see, it said head on down this dirt road for just about a mile...for cold beer and barbeque and girls to drive you wild.
It was and old wooden shack, surrounded by some trees, with lots of spanish moss, hanging from the leaves. It looked unassuming as I drove right on up...turned off my radio and got out of the truck.
They were drinkin, they were singin, they were dancin on the bar..from big tall pitchers, with lots of mason jars. Everyone was smilin as I walked right on in. To Jimmy's Jumpin Juke Joint where everyone's yo friend.
Break.
Repeat first verse.
Repeat chorus twice and out.
