Ahh let's go honky tonkin'
Let's go honky tonkin'
Have a honky tonkin' good time with us
Ahh let's go honky tonkin'
Let's go honky tonkin'
Honky tonkin' round Texas


Well I'll put some diesel in the tank
Give that old Detroit a crank
We'll sit back and let that silver eagle fly
Well up and down that Lonestar State
Let's have a honky tonkin' tail gate
And don't forget to kiss your baby good bye


(Chorus)


Stick out a thumb and bum a ride
Hitch-hike across the country side
Come see why they call this place God's country
Well criss-cross in the Colorado
From Amarillo to Zapata
Every town along the way from A to Z


(Chorus)


Well my mom called me up
And she gave me my last warning
Said there'll be hell to pay
If I miss church this Sunday morning
