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

Style
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.
