Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Middle of April Delta air thick as stew Tunica sign half peeling Still says "Population: Few" Rusty trucks lined crooked Down by the river sand Somebody strung up Christmas lights In washed-out Mardi Gras strands [Chorus] It’s a crawfish boil in Tunica Where the shirts are loud, and the jokes are louder Leopard print aprons Big hair, bigger laughter Plastic crowns, flip-flops, red solo cups Hot shells flying, we don’t clean this up Yeah the best kind of pretty is slightly tacky At a crawfish boil in Tunica, Mississippi [Verse 2] Got a kiddie pool for a cooler Beer so cold it bites Uncle Earl in a flamingo hat Says he’s “classy” for the night (uh-huh) Aunt Jean’s nails like stoplights Wrapped ‘round a Styrofoam plate She’s yelling “Baby, grab you some corn” Like it’s a first-class steak [Chorus] It’s a crawfish boil in Tunica Where the shirts are loud, and the jokes are louder Leopard print aprons Big hair, bigger laughter Plastic crowns, flip-flops, red solo cups Hot shells flying, we don’t clean this up Yeah the best kind of pretty is slightly tacky At a crawfish boil in Tunica, Mississippi [Bridge] Church shoes in the gravel Somebody turned the speakers high We’re two steps deep in mud and butter Under that watermelon sky You can keep your high-rise glitter Give me these crooked-string lights This little Delta dot on the map Feels like the center of Friday night (hey!) [Chorus] It’s a crawfish boil in Tunica Where the shirts are loud, and the jokes are louder Leopard print aprons Big hair, bigger laughter Plastic crowns, flip-flops, red solo cups Hot shells flying, we don’t clean this up Yeah the best kind of pretty is slightly tacky At a crawfish boil in Tunica, Mississippi At a crawfish boil in Tunica, Mississippi

country, 90s radio country with male vocals; bright Telecaster twang, walking bass, brushed snare and train beat on choruses. Fiddle answers the vocal lines, steel guitar sneaks in on turnarounds. Verses stay storytelling and tight, chorus opens wide with stacked harmonies and a big singalong hook. Warm, slightly gritty vocal, like a sunburned grin you can hear.
