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.
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!
First point, he mentions catching a blue cat on a drifting jug line, then mentions his cousin who coached a AA football team they were 2 time champions but they won't be this year. And he bought a .50 caliber"That's one big ol' pistol made by some badass Hebrews " If that's not America in a nutshell, I don't know what is!!
Someone uploaded this song to the internet and shared it on a UseNet group long before UA-cam was a thing. I enjoyed it as a fun novelty song and forgot all about it. Years later James was featured on World Cafe, played this song and I was hooked!
One of the great things about this version is that you get to hear McMurtry tear into the guitar. Although primarily known as a songwriter for a couple of decades now, my understanding is that in his early days he was primarily viewed as a touring guitarist, which is to say, dude's actually got some serious guitar chops.
I live in Maine and we have Stephen King who is buddies with Larry McMurtry. Stephen owns several radio stations here and he is a big fan of James's music. They play alot of it and we wish everyone could hear this.
Mine too, that’s my kinfolk he’s talking about. I live on Lake Texoma and I have a teenage niece whose name was recently painted on the Denison water tower. 😆
Well, his father wrote Lonesome Dove and Terms of Endearment, so it would make sense. And this song? It's so country it literally needs translation for an urban dweller to follow. One does not learn about drifting jug lines or Bodock fence posts in the big city.
Thanks for posting this version of one of my favorite songs. This live recording by J.M. and this band is the best. The real capper is the montage of photo's to match the lyrics as this gem of a story/song rolls along. It's so good that I played it twice in a row! Nice work, Clay!
I heard this a few months ago, every morning I wake up with it playing in my head. When I leave for work it’s always the first song to play, just can’t get enough
I love this song.. bad subject sorta, but I can identify with my dads side of the family. Fam reunions.. and whiskey on the pacifier... old as dirt uncles fighting in the yard over which was worse, the Vietnam war or the Korean war.. and grandma tearing out wires in an uncles harley so he wouldnt drive it drunk. driving with a maniac we called dad with no seatbelts cause cars didnt have them. traveling all over the place sleeping in the back window. Uncle Jimmy with PTSD ( no one knew the name of what vietnam did to him.. he was just nuts but we loved him) and a trashbag full of smoke in his trunk. Lord, memories. Now Im old and would die if my kids acted like we did! HAHA!
I hope my kids, all daughters, kick it in high gear and pass everything I'd done when I was young. I only want them to live through it and realize that being young is for cutting loose.
People always talk about their greatest rock n roll moments. I spent a fair amount of time in N.E. Oklahoma with my wife's family in the 70s,80s,& 90s. Lived in North Texas. Been to Baxter Springs to buy 3.2 beer at Johns Icehouse, driven by MacDonalds at the Big Cabin exit, Driven through the Eufala lake area, went past Choctaw Bingo. I liked James McMurtrys music, then I heard this on the radio before I bought the album. Life suddenly made sense. McIntyre HAD BEEN FOLLOWING ME AROUND! For years. You know the meth problem had been going on, and still does, but I have never heard any lyrics so accurately describe the whole thing of growing up like this. Now I gotta find a therapist to get me past the feeling James may STILL BE FOLLOWING ME AROUND! I admit to going up to the bookstores his father had in a town up towards Wichita Falls. But I am not following James. Life can be so confusing. By the way, saw James McMurtry with Jason Isbell at the Bomb Factory in Dallas 2019. I'm in my 60s, and I'm here to tell you they burned the place to the ground.
@Allen Kennedy i think he could have been following me around back then.... Just Sayin. My best friend lived N. of Blossom. If you know where I'm talkin about then you know.
When people say "flyover country", this is the type of epic shit they're flying over. I say this as a West Coast baby who spent a damn lot of time right between America's tits.
James was all bummed one night cuz he said he ain't as famous as his Dad. "Man, I don't care." He's the most contemporary poet I know. Rank him with Leonard Cohen in my book. James, you're fantastic!
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
I like this song! I heard it for the first time about a month and a half ago, April 2014, featured in the movie, 'Beer For My Horses'. It rocks! Thank you for sharing, clay foster!!! : )
Lol! My Choctaw wife's uncle designed the arched restaurant at Vinita OK in the late 1950s when the Will Rogers Turnpike was built! We are from the Joplin MO area and know all of these places well! Baxter Springs! Great stuff!
Suggy1970 that cracked me UP! I love your post about how this song rings to your family.....We ALL have family like this. It is just soooooo TRUE and REAL. I am still giggling.....You made my day dearest!
man oh man I know what you're talkin about. I'm 58 years old but all my elders came here from Oklahoma Arkansas Texas and New Mexico where I'm living now used to be one hell of a damn place seems like everybody in this area used to talk with some type of southern accent that's long gone now too many Outsiders moved in fucked it up for the rest of us. Me and all my cousins and relatives and friends we're brought up this way. Good or bad I ain't ashamed of none of it! But that's all changed now the past 20 years sure did screw up my home but I tell you what any kind of people from the outside used to come around in the old days and tried to fuck with us we would tell them and show them what was what!!! This song pretty much tells the way it was when I was growing up and at least till my mid too late 30s. too bad them times had to go away.
😅🤣😂👍👍👍💃💃💃......Doin' my happy dance .....Thanks . Great FUN . Great day in TBILISI !.......You should come sing over here.......Georgians love all American music !
Just went through the panhandle a few days ago, went to go see my Grandson ride a bull. He did good for a 13 yr. old! Anyway, while I was driving, this song kept coming up in my head. Made me laugh...
oh i don't know...i was in a bar in east st louis in the early 80's with a brand new expensive panama 5" brim i was kinda proud of, & i walked across the empty dance floor towards the men's room, & one of the front men in the band made a remark over the mic about my hat, so i calmly stopped, backed up & asked if he'd been talking to me, & as he bent down from the stage about 4 ft up, i grabbed his shirt collars & faceplanted him, guitar & all...& i am a musician.....-went on to the bathroom......he was white(& black & blue), & i'm white (still have the hat), & i love east st louis. -love this song.
Saw him open for Rodney Crowell May '11. Solo acoustic 12-string. Songs made a deep impression. A new favorite in class with Rodney, Darrel Scott, John Hiatt, Ryan Bingham, Patterson Hood. to name a few.
@@videodudeX Its actually Bois d' arc fence post (pronounced bordarch in Texas) also known as the osage orange. Super hard wood that makes fence posts that last forever.
Stumbled onto to this! Stunned by the fact that I know all these places most of the personalities! Shocked that you all made a great song out of the whole menagerie. Don’t stop now! This is great stuff! Love your style and talent!!!
This ode to sheer lawlessness makes me feel good all over ... & I liked the reference to 'an old bois d'arc fence post you can hang a pipe-rail gate from' :D ... I'll just stop here, before I wind up on some watch list ...
This song is supposed to be about Oklahoma, but at around the 1:54 mark when it mentions "Lake Eufaula", that picture is of Lake Eufaula in Alabama - the bridge between Alabama and Georgia, we call it the Causeway. I grew up in Eufaula, AL and in Lake Eufaula. Just sayin... :D
There is a Lake Eufaula in OK, southeast of Henryetta and northeast of McAllester; I know this won't mean much. (My Dad the minister had a revival back there, when I was knee high to a grasshopper). This doesn't really matter, but just letting y'all know.
Thanks for posting Clay. This is fucking awesome. That first line about Crystal Meth had me cracked up so loud on the subway here in the EU, them Europeans looked at me like the American done lost his mind. Sweet way to start my day. Subbed. Peace.
Love it!!!!! Love South Dakota, too!!!! Must’ve been here... got a snow shovel w ur name on it...😂😂😂😂😂 the cold has come quick and there’s cows still out....
+FockeWulf200C that big fifty caliber sniper is actually a ww2 era lotti anti tank rifle in 20mm I believe and the BAR he's more likely talking about is the automatic hunting rifle ed Browning makes and the Bar your thinking of was actually a 30-06

Many mornings, to get started, we rev up the job site with this. It sort of sets a mood….
This should be our national anthem
If you’re from this part of the country it might as well be...
Yeah yeah yeah
Haha, it kinda is - at least for me.
The rest of the country wouldn't get it.
Only if yer from OK

I can't think of a better example of a song that captures American culture.
First point, he mentions catching a blue cat on a drifting jug line, then mentions his cousin who coached a AA football team they were 2 time champions but they won't be this year. And he bought a .50 caliber"That's one big ol' pistol made by some badass Hebrews "
If that's not America in a nutshell, I don't know what is!!
I’ve been hooked on this song since I heard it. Each time I hear it I appreciate it that much more
Same here!
This is basically the entire southern Midwest. This was the fringes of society in the 90's

Love it
good times! and dammit...fun for the whole family
Best comment I've seen today lol
@@Indiancreekgunsmithing right on.

Although primarily known as a songwriter for a couple of decades now, my understanding is that in his early days he was primarily viewed as a touring guitarist, which is to say, dude's actually got some serious guitar chops.
He's reworked Chuck Berry's "You can't catch me" in a masterful fashion and made it his own.
He's phenomenall !
Me too. This came 2 me on a long bus ride
I love his playing on this.
When ever I go to Oklahoma , I always play this song!!! Because it makes oklahoma kinda fun......for minute.....😄😄👍🏻
Dad's a great writer of novels. Sons a wordsmith also but puts music to it. What a gifted family.
Lonesome Dove is one of my favorite novels. Choctaw Bingo is one of my favorite songs.

I LOVE LARRY!! "The Last Picture Show" & "Texasville" are my favorites. But I had no idea he was James dad. Certainly talent in their genes.
Gets better every time you hear it. I have listened to this song probably 325 times.
That's so specific and relatable 😂😂
a lil sister twistin'
McMurtry's got a helluva damn nerve, singing about my family that way.
Mine too, that’s my kinfolk he’s talking about. I live on Lake Texoma and I have a teenage niece whose name was recently painted on the Denison water tower. 😆
Your family? You mean mine!
I’m related to him
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@sonder6434 so
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
We've all got folks like this. Or close.
He could write him a badass Cohen Bros. Movie for sure😀
Should be the national anthem
Well, his father wrote Lonesome Dove and Terms of Endearment, so it would make sense. And this song? It's so country it literally needs translation for an urban dweller to follow. One does not learn about drifting jug lines or Bodock fence posts in the big city.
His daddy wrote some pretty famous books that were made into movies….. it’s clear writing’s in the blood with this father and son.

ditto..cant help but move when u hear it..always pits me in a good mood when im down lol
For real!
Lol, there's something sexy about that.
Next time your sinks full of dirty dishes I'll bring the shine
Post a video or it didn't happen.
Somebody needs to make a movie based on this song ;)
They made a TV show. Justified.... lol
It's called beer for my horses
Moonshiners reunion
I made the movie, I just forgot to put film in the damn camera. Most people from North Texas lived this stuff in the 80s.
As long as it has a political slant i guess a lrodution company would pick it up. If just entertaining , forget it
Greatest song I’ve ever heard. Church groove with thoughtful lyrics. Brilliant
From Sherman, TX. This sums up my childhood

Sounds like the last time of some peoples lives unless someone that knows what’s up squeezes that bad puppy off
This Man knows!
Pretty *cousins
EXCELLENT imagery that makes this song even better. Thank You Clay!
Made me jones
Very true.
This song is one of the main reasons I bought the Beer For My Horses soundtrack. Toe tappin' good tune.
This needs to be a Guy Ritchie movie, something like Snatch.
I bought "Too long in the Wasteland" when Mellencamp endorsed him 30 years ago. John wasn't lyin'
Wow. This was meant for Boomhauer to sing!!
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, & tattoo... :-) McMurtry nailed it !!!

Sand Springs Oklahoma buddy
Basically what goes through my head every time it comes up on my playlist. Feels like a song about my family, and where I grew up.
Loved his lyrics from day 1 , keep it coming , he's a rare treat in Canada to see live , awesome!! come back to Alberta the south of the north!!!

I'm so pleased that this video was made - a lot of the landmarks discussed in the song (e..g the McDonalds over the highway) don't exist any more.
