The longest & best run-on sentence in music. Period.

McMurtry's got a helluva damn nerve, singing about my family that way.

[natenichols]

I can't think of a better example of a song that captures American culture.

There's not much on youtube that can hold my attention for close to 9 minutes but I listen to this alot. Every line is gold and you absolutely can not be in a bad mood with this on.

"Breaking Bad" meets "Justified".

Americana...I now live amongst these people...one of the best songs ever written

OMG, this IS Oklahoma! The highlight of going with my grandparents to see family in Arkansas and Missouri was getting to stop at the McDs and walk the tunnel across the turnpike! Back in the days when I rode in the back window of the Olds 88 or sat between my Papa's feet while he was driving. Hell, my Papa had me driving that 88 up and down the turnpike by the time I was 10. Eufaula, yep, me too. Friends in Choctaw, yep. Oklahoma anthem for sure!

This needs to be a Guy Ritchie movie, something like Snatch.

I actually worked at the smoke shop pictured in the thumbnail had a casino room off to the side. In the late 90s. We broke up fights, got flashed in the drive through, sold crack pipes traded for gold, had a off the chain casino room. Long live north sheridan in tulsa oklahoma. Not for the faint of heart but a hell of a time to be strung out

Roscoe tried to miss 'em, but he didn't quite. That and the badass Hebrews line never fail to crack me up.

As America descends into the pit this song just keeps getting better and better. James, you are truly a genius.

[cameronburns]

I’ve been hooked on this song since I heard it. Each time I hear it I appreciate it that much more

[wdm]

Gets better every time you hear it. I have listened to this song probably 325 times.

627 people never got a little bit of vodka with their cherry coke as kids.

James McMurtry's lighthearted tune about crystal meth, incest and good old fashioned family reunions. Great song!

[timothywelch]

When ever I go to Oklahoma, I always play this song!!! Because it makes oklahoma kinda

[Skycladatdusk]

Came for uncle Slayton's whiskey, stayed for Ruth Ann and Lynn.

If this isn't an actual account of a family reunion, then this man needs to write movies for Hollywood, cuz those folks are out of ideas. #classic

How the HELL did I go sooo many years with not being aware of this diamond...

Dad's a great writer of novels. Sons a wordsmith also but puts music to it. What a gifted family.
