"Ray Ray's Juke Joint" is a song by country singer Jamey Johnson that tells the story of a small town bar that has changed over the years. In the past, it was a honky-tonk heaven where country music was played, but now it has been taken over by a new owner who has turned it into a more modern place that plays hip-hop and karaoke. Despite the changes, the narrator knows of a hidden beer joint in the woods that the city folk haven't discovered yet. It's a little difficult to find, but once you do, you'll be met with ice-cold beer, juicy chicken and ribs cooking on the grill, and a jukebox playing classic country tunes from legends like Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash. The place is run by Ray Ray and his family, who make the patrons feel like family and friends. However, there have been rumors of people going missing after visiting the joint, adding an air of danger and mystery to the place. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the journey to the juke joint, including landmarks like a stomp with barbed wire and an old church. The jaunty melody and upbeat rhythm evoke a feeling of adventure and excitement, making the listener want to join in on the journey to Ray Ray's Juke Joint.
